Confused

The Dressmaker (2015)

Directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse this film based on the novel of the same name stars Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth and Hugo Weaving. A stylish dressmaker returns from working in Paris to the small outback town she grew up in.

Something never really sits right about this mix of quirky Australian comedy and really dark tale of small town prejudice. The shifting tones seem to trivialise at times what is some really heavy subject matter. Thanks to the great cast the film is enjoyable but it is a bit of a let down.


3/5
