What a wonderful film this is- out on DVD at last - if you haven't seen it - you are in for a treat. The story of the feisty and talented Syblla Melvyn(Judy Davis), stuck on a impoverished farm in 1900 outback Australia- her dreams of fame, her clashes with established mores, her heart breaking romance with the the wealthy and handsome Harry Beecham (Sam Neill) - are beautifully captured. Every thing about this film is as good as I remembered it - every scene is taut and clear- screenplay the score is evocative and memorable, the lush and beautiful settings, the excellent acting, especially Judy Davis and Sam Neill, would appeal to anyone who loves period films, getting of wisdom type films, just about anyone. A wonderful screen play by Eleanor Whitcombe brought to life by the director Gillian Armstrong

This is a gentle coming of age story about growing up in a small town in Australia at the turn of the 20th century. The acting is superb and very well considered; but the star of the film is the stunning cinematography that really shows the vast beauty of Australia. Wonderful.

Searched for years (literally) to find this. Found it. Love it. Quite an odd movie - and to be honest it is now very dated. But its an acquired taste I suppose. I like it. others will hate it.
