Izaac A Looking For Alibrandi is an excellent film by itself, by when compared to Marchetta's novel it pales in comparison. Heartfelt but jumbled. Worth a watch for fans of the genre. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Kimberley S I still watch this movie on at least an annual basis. Every 90s born kid in Australia from a migrant/ ethnic family would relate to this film. It tackles themes of discrimination, mental health and belonging. It specially hit home for me, having went to school in the Eastern suburbs while living in South western Sydney in the 2000s. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Jacob Coote looked like a sex offender. Michael Andretti and Josie's relationship was the equivalent to sweet home Alabama, he literally pulled her chair to get her closer to him and it looked like they were going to kiss 10 times throughout the movie. They also killed off John Barton who was the only actor that was actually attractive and could pass as a teen boy. Also, they should have played more U2 music and put the events in correct order with the order it is in the book. Hilarious almost sex scene which romantises pressuring women into sex is very uncomfortable as well. Overall, would not watch again but did help us pass our english exam! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The Book Is Semi-Autobiographical, But The Movie Brings All Those Family Characters & Italian Culture To Life Upon The Sydney-Side Backdrop. Pia Lights Up The Screen & It's Lovely To Watch Her Smiling Away.. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Looses it a bit in places and has not identified the most important themes from the book. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Great film, revived memories of my teen years in parts. A much better film than I expected.
