Neil Jillett The Age (Australia) Playing Beatie Bow is a marvelous change from the gross, self-centered attitudes to which most teen-pix pander. It is intelligent, funny, well-crafted and imaginative. And whether you are six or 106 you should find it refreshingly free of condescension. Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member An old Australian movie set in the rocks area. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was really bad. Nothing like the book... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member For it's time, I'm sure it was an alright movie.. but in this day and age, the only time anyone would ever watch it would be because they were forced to for a school assignment. Like I was. Would not recommend. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A great Austalian book brought to life. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member OMG I can't believe this movie is here... I wish I can find it in dvd. I saw it just once, years ago, but remember it very well. In fact... I wanted to call my daughter Abigail... but her father did not agree... Cruel world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
