ThiefHott Too much of everything
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
gorg_w this is an amazingly beautiful film that gets me tingly every time i watch it. young Amy and her mother travel to the big city to try and crack Amy's psychological problem of being a deaf mute. to find the answer we meet great characters, and some real Aussie's. comedy, drama, romance, tears. possibly the best Australian film ever. whenever i see it i end up with a warm feeling, and wishing i was a musician. a must see for anyone with a heart.
strife the most beautiful movie iv ever seen, first the end titles appeared i noticed that my face was covered in tears and that my back was really hurting cuz of the awkward position iv been sitting in during the whole move.. MUST SEE!
starette As there are no comments here on my fav film i thought i'd put one. I found this film amazing. I loved it. i have now watched it 4 times on video and thinking of watching it again this afternoon. It's a fine movie to show the world just how great and touching our movies can be. Rachel Griffiths and Alana De Roma were excellent. And all supporting cast were fab. And the songs were great and well picked for where they were put into the story. Okay i better get back to my h/w now. Then watch AmY again!
grinna I liked this movie but I was a bit confused as to what sort of movie it was - I would say it was a pot pourri of type. Was it a drama with quirky little pieces of dark comedy and surrealism thrown in for good measure? One wonders whether the director or producers could not make their minds up as to what type of movie it would be. Perhaps everyone got their way. It might have made more at the box office if it had been a children's story - which it probably is, if you take out the swearwords, and family violence etc. In my opinion, this great cast of actors might have been a little bit let down by the script, which could have built better stories of victory over adversity with each character, and also added a little more surrealism.This movie certainly showed some dramatic snapshots of some of the lives and situations of people living in Australia. The coppers singing whilst searching for Amy was fantastic. Mendelsohn's 'lyrics of life' were also deep and meaningful.Alana De Roma's performance as a singer and actor were excellent. Golly, has she got a future!I would rate this movie as a 6.5 out of 10; well worth watching.[Was it a touch of irony that one time Melbourne rock legend Bobby Bright played the busker on the street? Why wasn't he singing "Hitch Hiker"?]
