The Dressmaker (2016)

One of my all time favorites.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It start like a classic one.Middle part is just comedy unrealistic type one.And at the end there is nothing.Which audience the producer try to catch?? The worst movie I've seen of Kate Winslet! Don't waste your time.

I watched this movie at home as an Amazon streaming offer. I am a Winslet fan, I like everything she does and she is great here.Kate Winslet is adult Tilly Dunnage, returning to her tiny and dusty Australian town after being away for 25 years. In that time she had traveled the world, became an expert dressmaker in Paris, and upon return was the most refined woman in her community.But what happened 25 years ago when she was 10? Local legend has it she had murdered someone, a 10-yr-old classmate, and for that she was sent away. But she didn't have any recollection of that and part of her mission was to find out what really happened.There are lots of good scenes in this movie but there are also a few goofy ones. There are some strange characters, and some of the "normal" characters do some strange things. Like the cross-dressing chief of police or the young men who jump into a grain silo full of mice in the middle of the night.But quirkiness aside the meat of the story, and Tilly's uncovering and remembering what really happened, makes it a worthwhile viewing.

The best movie I've seen for a long time. It's funny, quirky and serious and intriguing at the same time. It took a while to get used to the character caricatures, but it works very well, and is in fact refreshing. I thought it might be based on a play, also because of the setting and the costumes, but it's based on the book The Dressmaker.The cast is great. I love Kate Winslet, and her character suits her like Tilly's dresses. Molly and the police officer are absolutely great as well. The town itself is like a mirage in the desert, and there is nowhere but in Australia this story would work. Like a micro cosmos of our strange human nature. Beautifully done!!

What a surprise, a total gem of a tale. Not at all what I expected, but I am glad I took a peek, and stayed for the show.Lots of drama one minute, laughing out loud the next, and it never stopped.A young dress designer comes home to find out what happened when she was a child of 10 and sent away from her Mother right after the death of a classmate, and to reunite with her Mother. Sounds simple enough, right? Far from it though.Fantastic cast of amazing characters. I can't say enough good things about this film. But I will say if you don't watch, you are missing a real treat.
