Richard Propes' Review

A-

Sparkling!

With the exception of a supporting performance by Kenneth Branagh, I don't believe there are any actors here you will recognize. This works perfectly within the context of this film, it's plot and the powerful story that is shared here.

This is a somewhat true film, and reminds us of the rather horrid treatment afforded those of the aboriginal background in Australia. Of course, this very fact is controversial and subject to dispute depending on who you speak with...The three girls featured here give marvelous performances, and is supported very well by David Gulpilil, an aboriginal actor who was featured in another incredible film, "Walkabout."

This film is beautifully directed by Phillip Noyce, who also directed "The Quiet American." This is a wonderful film, with a bit of a slow-down in the middle of the film. It's beautifully shot, but it doesn't resonate with me as much as "Walkabout." Still, I highly recommend it.
