Audience Member I find it interesting how lots of people on here like this film but I disagree. It has good ideas and themes but doesn't explore them properly. The topic of racial prejudice was pretty weak and unconvincing most of the time. The dialogue is pretty terrible, with conversations normally having 5-10 seconds of dead air between sentences. The line delivery isn't much better, particularly the younger actors struggle and conversations sound awkward as a result. Amelia's character has almost no relevance to the plot since she only has a handful of lines. Plot points are introduced but then dropped; for example the movie ends before we see any kind of resolution to the adults' conflict, and the resolution to the kids' conflict doesn't feel much better and as a result most of the characters don't feel like they have an actual arc. Overall I like the issues this movie is trying to tackle but it doesn't deliver on them in any way. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A sweet film about the power of friendship in a changing world. September has been one of my favourite films since it's release and features an impressive cast including; Mia Wasikowska, Xavier Samuel, Clarence John Ryan and the always superb Sibylla Budd. Director Peter Carstairs has handled the delicate story with utter brilliance, so much so that I never tire of watching it. The soundtrack and awkwardness of the three teen leads are all highlights as is the flawless dialogue. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I think this film will just be known for being one of Mia Wasikowska's first films. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member great cinematography Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the type of Australian film I really adore. Unfortunately most people go this film the time of day. But if you actually sit down with some time to spare and give this film 30 seconds...you will become engaged. Its a story about Australian life the relationships of people during the time and also the relationship comparision between a pair of father and sons one white and one aboriginal. If you like films you should see this one. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Don't expect heroism or a nail biting climax - this film simply shows life as it was and relationships as they still are. A lovely piece of Australian film that doesn't need to prove anything. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
