Buried in Memory: Trauma and Colonial Amnesia in Ivan Sen’s Limbo Dylan Goodluck , 2023 single work review
— Appears in: Overland [Online] , August 2023;

— Review of Limbo Ivan Sen , 2023 single work film/TV

'On the tail of a series of sublime and haunting Australia Crime pictures to release in the post-pandemic era, Limbo joins a canon of thoughtful, skilfully made films that present a harrowing subtext about Australian society, and the inherent violence that permeates it, focusing on the Indigenous Australian struggle for the excavation of an ongoing history of oppression by the hands of White Australia. It is written, directed, scored and shot by Ivan Sen—an Indigenous filmmaker with a pedigree of thoughtful films, such as Mystery Road (2013), Toomelah (2011), and Beneath Clouds (2002), that express the entanglements and tragedies that adopt Indigenous perspectives as well as utilising stark outback and rural settings.' (Introduction)
