Too much of everything
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
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.
At first, this just looked a little bit smarmy, and we take comfort in the fact that the cute little girl can't speak. But no, we have to have a happy ending, so the hard-hearted neighbours discover that the girl hears and speaks only melodies, so the second half of the film is sung in nursery rhyme melodies, and saccharine rhymes. It really is as vile as it sounds. I was screaming at them to stop. There are some good actors in this film. They must have been really hard-up to accept these jobs.The girl sounds like that Nikki Webster wretch. I'm not sure whether she did the singing, but it was someone just as unbearable as her.
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!
I'd have to say I wouldn't like this movie half as much as I do if the little girl, Amy, hadn't been such a wonderful actress. I was just blown away by her singing abilities, as well as her acting abilities. I hope we see more of Alana in the future.
