Plot
The movie starts in 1926 when we see a small town in the heart of Australia. Significantly fewer people live in that town and among those few people there lives a 10-year-old girl, who stays there with her mother, Molly. People in that town don’t like Molly and her mother, and no one there talks to them. Also, in Myrtle’s school, everyone hates her and calls her mean. One day a girl who studies in Myrtle’s class dies and everyone blames her for the mishap. Everyone in the school believes that Myrtle have killed the child. Also, everyone in the town wants that she should be punished. So, the police officer in the city, decides to send her very far from the town as punishment. In the next scene, we see that it’s 1991 already twenty-five years have passed, and we see Myrtle, returning to her old house. She has vague memories of her childhood. First of all, she decides to step into her house and the condition of the house was not so good. Her mother, Molly, also lives there. Since Myrtle have left the town her mother stays alone in the house, there was no one to take care of her and therefore her health is now worsened. Also, the circumstances have made her mentally unstable. Myrtle tries to talk to her mother to remind her of the past events but fails to do so. Her mother even doesn’t remember that Myrtle is her daughter, this incident has hurt her a lot but she has no ways rather to face the truth. Is Myrtle responsible for the child’s death? Why was the whole town hating on Myrtle and her mother? The rest of the film revolves around it.
Star Performance
All the actors involved in the film have performed beautifully and they blend with their respective characters well. The scenes were beautifully shot. The dressmaker, Liam excels in his job even though the script doesn’t give him much importance, but his characters end tragically. All the twists and turns in the film were unique and helped the movie to flow in a better way. Altogether, the film is full of hysterical, sad, gritty, and poignant incidents.
Analysis
The story is filtered to the Australians with magnificent platitudes and echoes of the ancient penny-ante farming country of 1950’s communities. The characters are fusion, assorted, and engaging, each with a different story that directs to an understanding of the circumstances. This story captures the twisted reality more adequately. The characters are well chosen, and they reflect people’s life in the real world. It is a brilliant, funny, and tragic film that engages you. The plot twist adds depth to the story, creating exciting and hilarious elements. The storyline is straightforward and has enough emotional and visual components to keep you entertained till the end.
