What is the matter with you people? 6.9/10????
How on earth could this film have only 6.9 out of 10? It may not be the best Australian film ever made, but it's darn good. It's great to see Cate Blanchett in a non-blockbuster film with her real accent, and it's great to see Martin Henderson not playing an American for once.
I found this film really sad, with brilliant acting and an amazing soundtrack. I'm not from Australia and I had never heard "Flame Trees" before and it's a great song, especially sung by the children's choir. I think it really says a lot about how one moves on with your life.
So, after all that.....what's with the 6.9 you fools?
