Oranges and sunshine, is overall an OK movie. The film was directed by Jim Loach, the filming industry must be in the blood, and the son shall do do just as good ass the father. I have had the chance to meet Jim Loach, and he seems to be a gentle and nice man. His first film oranges and sunshine portrays a secret of the British government, where thousands of children were sent to Australia to do hard labor. I believe the subject of the film to be very captivating, and this is where my rating draws most of the points. Otherwise the quality of the film seems to be a little bit far fetched. Margaret Humphreys played by Emily Watsin is in a group talking about their problems when a woman explains how she just met her brother for the first time after being sent to Asustralia as a child. And this is just after Margaret was told a similar story of a woman who was sent to Australia when she was a child. These scenes are too coincidental, and take away from the movie. When Magaret travels to Australia from England and back and forth, there is no sense of time.In the film we never see footage of the children living there, I know I would have appreciated seeing how we hear the stories. But I do think Jim Loach does the subject matter justice, and the film deserves to be watched. I would suggest the film to be watched, so that people can develop their opinions.
