Leave your thoughts about The Eye of the Storm.
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonThe characters are very brittle and very difficult to sympathise with in many ways and so it presents the actors with tremendous challenges. But I think that they've overcome those challenges really very well indeed and there is some marvellous acting. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttThe actors and Fred Schepisi's direction are impeccable but so what? A brilliantly designed death watch is still a death watch. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] There are three main reasons to see "The Eye of the Storm." Their names are Charlotte Rampling, Geoffrey Rush, and Judy Davis. |
| The Age (Australia)Tom RyanSchepisi's approach is detached, thoughtful and observant, mostly allowing the performances and the compositions to speak for themselves. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisWhether she's lying in bed, her gray hair spilling out around her head, or exalting in existence itself during one of several flashbacks, Elizabeth draws you in, which works for the story and simultaneously unbalances it. |
| LimelightLynden BarberThe leads make a meal of their roles in the best possible sense, while the director's daughter, Alexandra Schepisi, makes a major impression as love-seeking nurse Flora. |
| Cinema AutopsyThomas CaldwellA film rich in style and characterisation to draw on the complexities of White's dense novel. |
| The VineRose CappA frank, funny and immensely satisfying adaptation of White's novel and a welcome return to the screen for one of Australia's most accomplished directors. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicWith three powerhouse actors out front and one of Australia's most renowned filmmakers calling the shots, it is of no wonder that The Eye of the Storm is one of the better local productions this year. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerFred Schepisi, one of the world's great directors ("The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith," "A Cry in the Dark") is working at half-speed in The Eye of the Storm, a convoluted family drama derived from a Patrick White novel. |
