Based on a best-selling novel, this is an Australian comedy drama set in the outback in the 1950s.
It stars Kate Winslet (Tilly) with a near flawless Australian accent, as well many famous Australian faces. Liam Hemsworth (#hubbahubba), Hugo Weaving, Sarah Snook, Shane Borne, Judy Davis, Rebecca Gibney and Alison Whyte are all wonderful in significant support roles.
Tilly, a talented dressmaker, returns to her rural hometown to right some wrongs of her past. Those 'wrongs' mean that the eclectic bunch of characters in the town don't exactly welcome her return. This manifests in disturbing, menacing and amusing ways.
I loved this film and would happily recommend it to anyone, though it probably does skew a little toward women and a little older, if the session I was in was anything to go by.
