A heart-warming story about former dressmaker Liebe (Maggie Blinco: The Nightingale, Crocodile Dundee), who reinvents herself after befriending young Chinese fashion designer Hamish (Hoa Xuande: Top of The Lake, Hungry Ghosts). When Liebe's partner Duncan (founding frontman of Little River Band Glenn Shorrock) loses his job singing at the local pub, Liebe throws herself into helping Duncan realize his dream to record an album. Inspired by Hamish, Liebe decides to make clothes again to support Duncan financially, but quickly reignites a long-forgotten passion for her craft. With Duncan intent on shutting down her dreams, Liebe packs her bags and moves in with her best friend, Christine (television and theatre favorite Belinda Giblin), and her unsuspecting husband, Justin (John Gregg: Bodyline, To End All Wars), to reclaim her life and discover where she belongs.

3/5
It’s a movie with all its edges filed down and a soundtrack that doesn’t so much tug at the heartstrings as yank them. But 89-year-old actor Maggie Blinco gives a performance of such gentleness and dignity she pulls the quality up from its Hallmark level. Go to Full Review David Stratton The Australian 05/05/2022
4/5
A Stitch in Time, the first feature by Australian writer-director Sasha Hadden, is a genuine charmer about an elderly woman who, late in life, decides to make a radical change. Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 05/05/2022
3.5/5
It’s a craft-driven comedy, in that sense, with some good textural scenes about cloth and cutting and design. Go to Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf 11/29/2023

A Stitch in Time is a lovely new twist on something that could have been boringly predictable. Go to Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk 11/27/2023

It's another perfectly pleasant film for a rainy day by the TV, but I wanted it to grow small but perceptible teeth. Go to Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ 08/25/2022
4.5/5
A Stitch In Time is a wee gem. Debutant director and writer Sasha Hadden might ladle on the sentiment a little thickly on the home straight, but every move he makes that gets us there is well executed. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sep 20 Its nice to see a engaging well made Australian movie, something a bit different than the usual American dramas. The cast did a amazing job. See more Phil L Jul 17 Mixed feelings on this one but overall positive. A good story told with great feeling. A little clunky in a few scenes but always well meaning and thoughtful. The strong positive though is the commitment to the story and the obvious connectivity and enthusiasm among the cast. So while not perfect the film has a lot going for it. See more Judith B May 25 Brilliant acting, beautiful old lady finding her confidence in her old style dress making. She breaks away from an old man who she's been devoted to all her life, gives up on her dreams to support his, he puts her down so she leaves him and finds her freedom with market sales and connections with young people See more Meryl V May 21 Loved it. Grab some tissues. Wonderful See more Skye S May 19 Amazing movie, beautiful soundtrack and costumes. Heartfelt story…. Don’t forget the tissues!! See more Vicki C 12/02/2024 I originally hired this film because I am a dressmaker but was pleasantly surprised to get so much more! A very humanly charged and emotionally fantastic film with great actors and beautiful scenery. Thank you heaps! See more Read all reviews
