I was a little hesitant to view this film, but it's a true keeper. It's on my hard drive where in all likelihood it will stay.
True to period, people & place. Brilliantly done, a visual feast, very captivating & real in performance & visual detail.
I sat down to watch this film without expecting anything special, and how wrong I was! Rachel Ward has done a wonderful job, the acting is superb, the story original, deeply moving and handled with subtlety.
Harry is a gentle soul who does not sign up to fight because he does not want to kill anyone, or anything. He is, in 1918, what would now be termed a Conscientious Objector but they certainly did not recognise that then.
Usually, I wonder if I should watch most Australian movies. They're either wonderful or terrible and rarely anything in between.
