Review of The Home Song Stories (2007) by Ann S — 27 Nov 2008
This emotion-filled biographical drama was based on the childhood days of writer/director Tony Ayres.
International actress Joan Chen stars as Rose, a woman who doesn't want to lose her youth and beauty and can't seem to settle down. Strangely although her behaviour affects her daughter openly it doesn't seem to outwardly worry the younger son Tom. But the instability of their lives slowly builds into hatred inside of young Tom which he doesn't openly display but eventually puts into writing.
Scooped the 2007 AFI Awards winning 8 categories including Best Actress, Direction and Screenplay.
