Review of The Sapphires (2012) by Kieran L — 11 Dec 2012
Like The Commitments only they're the blacks of Australia. While the history is sanitised and much of the music is anachronistic it is a funny and moving story without getting overly schmaltzy thanks largely to the performance of Chris O'Dowd.
The rest of the performance are uneven but, despite a bit of early stumbling, improve as the film progresses. It's just a shame that, given the iffy performances, they could only find one actress out of the four girls who could do her own singing.
