Review of Third Star (2010) by Helen M — 15 Jun 2011

I just have to tell you how deeply I was affected by the Sydney screening of Third Star yesterday. The emotions it has stirred up are still with me now and yet itâ(TM)s hard for me to articulate the profound resonance I had; not only with the story but importantly with the way that it was communicated. It felt like I walked through someone's soul with all the tenderness and intimate knowing that only ever really happens when dreaming it through a book.

There is nothing like the magic that is being wide open in the safety of strangers but it is space that is not easily inhabited. On very few occasions have I felt an audience connect with such an ease and lack of self-consciousness as I did yesterday.

It was a privilege. Thank you so, so much for taking me there.
