4.0 out of 5 stars A CRY IN THE DARK offers fine insight on this somewhat unusual Australian family's "Adventists" belief ...
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2016
Verified Purchase
I initially wanted to find a widescreen version of Australian Director Fred Schepisi's 1980's classic western Barbarosa. That travesty of re-issue incompetence at least reminded me that Schepisi directed A CRY IN THE DARK a mostly infuriating indictment on perception, prejudice, and ultimately injustice.
A CRY IN THE DARK offers fine insight on this somewhat unusual Australian family's "Adventists" belief and an inevitable media frenzy that does not just display its quick to judge, false misrepresentations in "The States".
This is a solid movie with fine performances by Meryll Streep (her 8th(!) Oscar namination) and Sam Neill as the spouses whose baby is taken from a tent during a "communal" type religious outing.
And those famous words that became a comic-tag-line by Elaine (Julia Louis Dreyfuss) in the Seinfeld tv episode: "The dingo took my ba-bay." Yes, from this movie.
But, watching the terror in a mother's eyes, slowly realizing what has just happened -- it is still kind of difficult to watch; and certainly something no parent would want to dwell on ... until the accusations arise. Again, truly an infuriating true story of how people are so quick to judge and condemn those who are "a little different."
A CRY IN THE DARK was, certainly, worth seeing again. Originally released in 1988. Widescreen is the way to see this well made Fred Schepisi almost a classic.
Now, could we just get a widescreen Barbarosa release.?!

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Death" Of An Innocent Family
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2006
Verified Purchase
Goes to show how far a little prejudice will go. After warnings that Dingos were becoming a dangerous problem at Ayer's Rock, baby Azaria's tragic death was bound to happen to someone's child sooner or later. Unfortunately, many didn't realize just how powerful an animal the Dingo is. Like many here in the U.S. don't realize the dangers of our even smaller Coyote. And unfortunately for the Chamberlain family, smaller minority churches like their membership in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, made them subjects of suspicion and rumors. Their marriage was eventually destroyed over this crisis.

This film portrayed so well, how a little gossip and stereotyping can explode into hatred. Little known to most even today, is that there was a large cover-up from law enforcement, down to members of the local community, who were aware that a well known local Dingo was responsible for Azaria's death. Yet, many still refuse to accept Lindy Chamberlain's total innocence of her baby's death. The average viewer of this film would be totally sickened by the full revelation of this tragic event.

Meryl Streep's performance, is possibly the best movie portrayal of someone not actually born a native to the country of her character's origin. Her Australian accent is delivered to perfection. Very much worthy of the 8th Academy Award nomination she received. A strong argument for religious tolerance, and keeping cool heads till all the facts are in. And a great edition to any DVD collection, though some strong language for what essentially is a faith-based film may discourage some from viewing.

The film's now well known line, "the Dingo took my baby" would not have the least hint of humor if heard in its true context. Watch the movie and you'll see what I mean.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Meryl Streep‘s finest film
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2023

A film about a woman whose baby gets snatched by an Australian dingo. Not sure if it is hard to believe because of Streep’s interpretation, or what but her acting in this one, just seems like it’s not hitting the mark.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cry in the Dark
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022

I really enjoyed the movie it was very heartbreaking in the movie a baby gets taken by a dingo in Australia and killed and the parents get blamed. The mother is charged, and losses her case, even though she had nothing to do with it. Many years later she's released from prison, and regains her family, although the damage has been done by the media, and ignorant people. The movie shows how innocent parents can be charged for murder in Australia. It's bases on the true story of Lindy and Azaria Chamberlain and family. Such a sad and enraging..movie. Baby Azarias body remains have not been found to this day. She was devoured whole by the dingo. Her baby clothes were found near a dingo cave at Ayres Rock, nearest town is Alice Springs, Darwin District. The case is now considered solved by authorities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peerless Acting Reverberates Down Under
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2015

By reputation, Meryl Streep seals her legend in this hardly observed crime who-dunnit receiving no Oscar nod or Academy mention for a performance that is astoundingly real in its exactness in the character of Lindy Chamberlain charged with the murder of her own daughter in the Australia back water, near Alice Springs, along with her husband Michael (Sam Neill), both devout Christians, a case that was solved a year after the picture's release. It is one thing to capture the virtuosity of Streep, but to present the trials and tribulations of innocent, accused parents under the microscope of media and bombarded by innuendo at every turn wearing testimony and beliefs to the pressure point is an extraordinary piece of cinema. If you followed this film with "Silkwood" you would see two distinct individuals played by the same actress. And, of course, Meryl Streep continues to stretch our imaginations. The supporting cast is familiar to those who fancy Australian offerings. However, this film is unique in its documentary feel with artistic touches, like complete authenticity to the decent character of the principals, that heighten its impact. Here, the viewers as well as the lead characters are tested by fire and survive. This is a Streep performance you must see.

This case realy intrested me in the 80,s i couldnt work out how come the northern terriotry police could be so stupid.
I always felt her innocence she was a beloved planned baby why would thay take her away to a public campsite and kill her
it just doesnt make sense.
What i would realy like to know is was there anyone at Ayres rock that night that arrived without a baby and left with Azaria
it might sound unlikely but i find it hard to believe a dingo could eat Azaria and leave no trace at all.!
