5.0 out of 5 stars My teen daughter loved this movie!, June 19, 2008

By	Karen Taylor (Fitchburg, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie, a blockbuster in Australia, is about an Italian girl who lives with her Mom in Australia. Her father has been mostly absent from her life but she tracks him down to get to know him. She deals with her daddy issues, adolescence, school exams, and the death of a close friend, as well as the challenges of being in two cultures at once, in a realistic way. Any teenage girl will relate to Josephine's confusion and anger. My daughter saw the movie and immediately read the book (about a dozen times); we'd recommend both to everyone, but especially adolescent girls (of any culture).

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as the book (which really says something), September 27, 2008

By	Not Miss Havisham - See all my reviews

Watched this tonight while ironing (what an exciting life, huh!). Although, by the virtue of the nature of the medium, the film does not reach as deeply as the book, it is an excellent film, portraying the original intention of the novel, as far as I understand it, very closely.
At times funny, at times touching and recognisable. The character of AustrItalian culture, with all its idiosyncrases, is explored with taste.
Fab film.
