This is a great movie. The human tragedy in a movie. Great cast, great direction and script. Must see

Although there are big name actors here, the film diminishes the book, turning it into farce much of the time. Thx book is funny as well as serious, but the humour is more sophisticated than the film. Read the book. It’s not an easy read but it’s a great novel and very satisfying to read.

Apparently everybody fucking hates this movie, though for reasons I can't quite grasp. Maybe I'm crazy, but to me it felt like Schepisi had total control over his tone; it had that great feeling of a serious drama that makes one laugh in every scene (extremely rare in modern Australian cinema, where grimness rules), and then by the end I was in tears. And the acting is uniformly terrific, especially the supporting cast (Robyn Nevin has one particularly excellent scene reacting to an unwelcome revelation). I mean, I don't expect my tastes to line up with the consensus every time, but I'm really surprised how reviled and ignored this movie is.
