Review of The Sapphires (2012) by Eric H — 22 Apr 2013
This movie is so much fun. The acting is not terrible, there is genuine chemistry between Chris Dowd and Deborah Mailman and the songs will make you want to sing along. I always cringe a little when I see an Australian movie because usually the script is clunky and contrived and the acting is a bit off.
Not so with the sapphires. This movies delivers on all the right notes and is an aboslutely cringe-free experience. Jessica Mauboy shows that she is a genuine talent with a great future ahead of her in acting and singing role.
The other newcombers to the cast also give great performances, especially the dad! I really had a lot of fun watching this movie and hope that others will see it to support great Australian cinema.
