The Dressmaker (2015)

£0.00


Country: AUS
Technical: col/2.35:1 119m
Director: Jocelyn Moorhouse
Cast: Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth, Hugo Weaving

Synopsis:

In 1950s Victoria, Australia, a dressmaker returns to the outback town of her birth to see to her mother, but the old ghosts of her childhood return.

Review:

Whatever the tone of Rosalie Ham's original novel, this quirky comedy drama is at times played like a distaff High Plains Drifter, and at others bears all the hallmarks of a film with P. J. Hogan's name on it. However, when it is content to let the performers do the work, it is in fact mightily affecting and not badly written.
