Looking at the reviews on IMDB here this is the greatest movie ever made! Sad story and theme but my problem with this film started with Emily Watson. Something unhinged about her. She always looks a bit mental. Also I like the way she was flashing back and forth from Australia in seconds. sometimes I never know where she was, until her husband turned up , maybe she could teleport. The story and how it was made never absorbed me. In fact toward the end of the movie I was looking at my watch. Deporting of children from crooked Great Britain to abuse in Australia is very sad but it needed a tad better movie than this. Some of those Aussie actors were Aussie soap level. Not a bad movie but not the classic these IMDB reviewers make it out to be.
