Chris By the 1980s--when the movie was made--much better movies were made. This movie insists on filmography of the era depicted instead, early 20th century. Overly melodramatic orchestra, ill-written and ill-acted lines, as if put together by someone desperate for the plot line to move along. the crash scene near the end is truly B grade, like most of this oddball movie. The main plot is with merit but, execution is laughable. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A little boy, PS, who's mother died in childbirth has been left with his working class Aunt Lila to be raised while his irresponsible father works in the outback. After several years, his wealthy Aunt Vanessa (Wendy Hughes) returns from Europe and demands joint custody, which she claims is what the boy's father wants. She bullies Lila into letting PS live with her during the week, but clearly wants full custody for herself ... perhaps as a ploy to renew her brief relationship with his father. A beautiful looking film that has a strange, feverish, melodramatic tone. The one downside is that it's ostensibly about PS, who is one of the least interesting characters in the film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this again tonight and was instantly captivated. This is a superb adaptation of a marvellous book with a great cast and script and sensitively directed by Carl Schultz. Nicholas Gledhill is wonderful as P.S. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member From the very first shot it's clear that cinematographer John Seale contributes enormously to the film's success. It's without doubt one of the most wonderfully photographed films of Australian cinema. Additionally, with no overreaching or caricatures in its portrayals, it's a simply told drama, but one filled with subtle complexities.
