Movie Reviews

sbs.com.au - 9/10 by Glenn Dunks[It] is a decidedly feminine film, one that is more concerned with issues of class, money, and family. It is a period film that revels in sumptuous costumes amid decadent sets and divine cinematography of Oscar-winning DP John Seale
Guardian - 6/10 by Luke BuckmasterA melodrama among the pedigree Australian pictures of the early 1980s.
User Review - 10/10 by Susan DThis is so very sad. Just because the poor kid had a wealthy, totally insane Aunt he got ripped away from the poor but wonderful Aunt.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard DA little boy, PS, who's mother died in childbirth has been left with his working class Aunt Lila to be raised while his irresponsible father works in the outback. After several years, his wealthy Aunt Vanessa (Wendy Hughes) returns from Europe and demands joint custody, which she claims is what the boy's father wants. She bullies Lila into letting PS live with her during the week, but clearly wants full custody for herself ... perhaps as a ploy to renew her brief relationship with his father. A beautiful looking film that has a strange, feverish, melodramatic tone. The one downside is that it's ostensibly about PS, who is one of the least interesting characters in the film.
User Review - 8/10 by Lee MFrom the very first shot it's clear that cinematographer John Seale contributes enormously to the film's success. It's without doubt one of the most wonderfully photographed films of Australian cinema. Additionally, with no overreaching or caricatures in its portrayals, it's a simply told drama, but one filled with subtle complexities.
User Review - 6/10 by James HThe excellent score, sets and costumes help this film immensely. Curiously uninvolving characters, in spite of the characters being developed well. It seemed longer than it was due to a few slow stretches. Well acted, good story.
User Review - 4/10 by Ilsa LFriday, October 29, 2010 (1983) Careful, He Might Hear You DRAMA The winner of 8 Awards Austrailian Awards including Best Picture- i have no idea why! Uninvolving and through the eyes of an 8 year old nicknamed P.S. about two sisters bickering over full custodian over him after losing his real mother and being ambandoned by his actual irresponsible father. The story takes place during the 1930's with two aunt's, one who the young boy has built the most rapport with, who has depleting health with a husband whose out of the job and the other as the very wealthy and healthy single aunt whose proper! The young boy prefers to live with the poor aunt despite health and financial issues because he build the most rapport with as opposed to the well groomed aunt who is very privilaged- all I can say is that if we can all be this lucky and this film fails to convince "I" as an audience otherwise! Another major problem is that this film doesn't quite explore all the other options such as a buy out if the wealthy aunt wanted custody of PS that much! Not good enough! 2 out of 4
