Sarah H It's a beautiful film. Chaotic and fun and wonderful Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall, this Australian film has always been close to my heart. I admire so many aspects of it. It's a witty and outrageous comedy, with stunning performances by the many cast members, delivering heartfelt tones and multiple stories. Every time I watch this film, I laugh one minute, am completely shocked, and am left with a heavy heart the next. In the end, Cosi leaves its audiences on a feel-good high and stands firmly as being different and bold; there's nothing quite like it. As the character Roy would say, it's marvellous. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't find this as funny as we are lead to believe, but the characters grown on you and you root for them to succeed in their endeavor. Pam Rabe's character is sweet. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Frances H Wonderful film--funny, poignant, exhilarating and triumphant! Wonderful performances,too, by the whole cast, but Barry Otto and Paul Chubb as Roy and Henry really steal the show. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/25/13 Full Review Audience Member Silly and implausible but entertaining. Very good cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It's worth it to see Barry Otto who's amazing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
