Film Review: The Dressmaker


VOX Cinemas, are just absolutely the BEST. They were EXTREMELY kind and amazing and INVITED us (yes, we still CANNOT get over that fact) to the premiere of The Dressmaker. What made this premiere EVEN cooler was that His Excellency the Ambassador of the Australian Embassy in the UAE attended the premiere with us and even spoke a few words. And that was just AWESOME. And he told us that the movie was done by AUSTRALIAN WOMEN. HOW COOL IS THAT?! (We're not biased towards Australians or anything, okay guys :p)

{The Dressmaker Summary: 
A glamorous woman returns to her small town in rural Australia. With her sewing machine and haute couture style, she transforms the women and exacts sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.}

Starring: Kate Winslet, Liam Hemsworth, Hugo Weaving, Judy Davis
Run-time: 1h 58m

This wasn't one of the movie types that we would have generally chosen- it's sort of a more non-commercial, indie-sort of movie- but we enjoyed it a lot.
The movie was able to successfully combine a variety of emotions and genres, and that was pretty great. The cinematography was brilliant and the scenery was stunning. And of course, the acting was superb. Also, the dresses created were really lovely.
This movie dealt with societal gossip and the repercussions very interestingly.
We felt like there were some parts which were a little dragged out, but we're not really sure which particular parts. Furthermore, some scenes/sequence of events were a bit strange. Not confusing as such, but just a little weird.
And lastly, we know that Kate Winslet is a fantastic actress, but I just felt like they should have chosen an Australian woman to play the role.
Overall, a very good movie.

Rating: 8.5/10

Once again, thank you SO MUCH VOX Cinemas for INVITING us (:'''''''') ❤️❤️) to such a great movie! We loved it!


Hope you have a lovely day/night!

Salam, Peace!
