Review of The Dressmaker (2015) by Esther Zuckerman for AV Club — 21 Sep 2016
At its best, The Dressmaker looks like 1950s Vogue does the outback. Director Jocelyn Moorhouse poses Kate Winslet and the rest of her female cast in gorgeous finery against a dingy landscape, their expertly tailored garments contrasting splendidly against the dust.
It’s a beautiful, bizarre, and funny juxtaposition. It works. The rest of the movie doesn’t.
