Review of The Echo of Thunder (1998) by Dg J — 08 Aug 2010

Based on Libby Hathorn's award-winning novel (Thunderwith) and directed by Emmy Award-winner Simon Wincer (Lonesome Dove), this rich film vividly captures the struggles and triumphs of a close-knit Australian family.

Gladwyn and Larry Ritchie work hard to maintain their farm in the harsh Australian outback. Despite the hardships, they enjoy a happy life with their children until Larry's teenage daughter from his first marriage comes to live with them.

Divided by secrets buried deep within, each of the family members discovers that truth?and the courage to express it?is the key that will unlock their hearts.
