The Dressmaker (I) (2015)
9/10
Beautiful film that is so funny and yet so sad
18 March 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This review includes a spoiler for the wonderful film The Dressmaker.

A beautiful film that I loved watching, it hits all the emotions from hysterical laughter to the sobbing and crying that I found myself doing uncontrollably, and I'm still crying now.

I hate the writer for killing off Teddy, I so wanted them to go off into the sunset together that the end of the film doesn't make up for his death.

If the film ever gets remade I so hope they change the script to keep Teddy alive and that they do get to go off to better lives.

I couldn't give 10 stars because of the death of Teddy, it was just so wrong to do that to him.

But it is still a film that I would put onto my must watch list.

If you watch the film you'll be the better for doing so, and you won't regret it.

Sandra Bullock
4 March 2016
Just watched this after reading a news article in the entertainment section of an online newspaper and thought I'd look it up.

Went onto YouTube because the newspaper's video clip wouldn't work, YouTube didn't let me down and I was able to watch a clip.

I have to admit that although I have enjoyed all the films that Sandra Bullock has made and have a bit of a soft spot for her, which means that I will watch anything that she is in, I've always thought of her as a bit of an acting lightweight, always seeming to be in those slightly off, quirky type of acting roles in the films she's appeared in.

In The Blind Side she's had me change my view of her as an actress, as in this film we get to see her really act seriously, making the role her own and showing that she can really act.

Her character is so believable and I so hope true to life of the real person that she was playing in the film - and to me showed a different side to her acting talent that really up until now I haven't really seen before.

This film is worth watching for the story and all the great acting in the film from all concerned.

If you have a couple of hours to spare this film is well worth the time to watch and enjoy and end up feeling warm and cosy by the end :)
