Audience Member "As a whole I was pretty disappointed with Hammers Over the Anvil, while it's visually stunning (referring to the Australian scenery, not Russell's rear end) the rest of the film is extremely bland. I found the story quite boring, slow and a little scattered." This film is part of my 26 days of Russell Crowe please visit the following link for the full review. http://www.commonsensemoviereviews.com/2010/04/hammers-over-anvil-1993.html Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The result with its voice-over documenting the artistic growth of the teenager, its glimpses of half-understood sexuality, and its trail of conflict between father and son - isn't badly made, just extremely familiar. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Quiet romance and not too well known - but I liked it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie except I can't remember what it was about Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member [font=Tahoma]Full review to come.[/font] Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
