Review of The Sapphires (2012) by Suyen M — 09 Sep 2012

It seems that what the Australian Public really wants is a feel good home grown feature film, and by the looks of it "The Sapphires" fits that criteria. Its about a group of Aboriginal girls; Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy) and Kay (Shari Sebbens) from central Australia who dream of musical success and through Dave (Chris O'Dowed) they find themselves travelling to Vietnam to entertain the troops there.

This film work as a heartwarming musical drama with enough wit and humour that hit their mark. All the major cast members give supurb performances and the four leads have great voices. So if your looking for something unique and entertaining then get your asses down to "The Sapphires", its sure to be a lot of fun!
