10/10
Brilliant funny and quirky.
7 May 2008
This film brought tears of joy and laughter to my family when we saw it. I guess you had to be there or you had to be the child of Australian lapsed communist actors in the 1950s to see how wickedly apt Judy Davis' performance was- Lines like "Its hard to plan a revolution with six o'clock closing" had us rolling on the floor. Loved it. Loved Richard Roxburgh. Loved all the cast and in particular loved the premise and the plot. Joe Stalin as the father of this almost physcotic love child. All the innocence of Sydney in the 1950s. All those quirky characters and all those great one liners. I cannot believe that this film never really gained the recognition it deserved.Its a must see!
