Review of The Dressmaker (2015) by Steve P — 24 Oct 2015
In my opinion, the trailers for THE DRESSMAKER somewhat misrepresent the movie. It comes across as a period drama with a touch of humour. However, this movie is black comedy through and through. It was quirky, over-the-top, and funny.
The cinematography is great and the acting pretty good with Kate Winslet (Myrtle 'Tilly' Dunnage) putting in a good performance. Sarah Snook (Gertrude 'Trudy' Pratt) is good as usual and Judy Davis (Molly Dunnage) is hilarious.
It's a good yarn and the reveal of what really happened in Tilly's childhood is a satisfying surprise. It's a fun movie but not brilliant - just ok. THE DRESSMAKER opens on October 29.
