This movie was infuriating because it started out so strong and had so much going for it. Cate Blanchett is as great as ever. I loved hearing her Aussie accent so pronounced. The setting was also incredibly beautiful. Wherever in Australia this was shot was stunning. Those golden rolling fields! However, it just turned into this snooze fest. Slow and tedious. The last half an hour was torture just waiting for it to end.

An Aboriginal young boy apprehended by police is sent to a Catholic orohanage in remote Australian countryside, sometime during the 1940’s. Cate Blanchett, stars as Sister Eileen, the head nun entrusted with his care and the care of the other young indigenous boys at the orphanage. Sister Eileen is a little rough around the edges, has a penchant cursing and likes to help herself to a few nips of wine when no one is looking. The new boy presents a particular challenge for Sister Eilleen. He barely speaks a word, eats with his hands, urinated in the fields and in general doesn’t conform to the order of the community. He also has a sort of supernatural power to conjure a…

One of those films that's never going to fully translate, maybe not for anyone except Thornton himself, there's something so personal, and even angry by the end, here.
And boy did it devastate me, there's a monotony of weirdness and routine that lulls you, only to that be hit with the suckerpunch of how insidious the whole situation is. How all these little boys have been stripped of all their culture. It's a clever undertone that's easy to miss in the beginning, the way Blanchett handles the boys roughly despite her sympathy, the way they self-police each other, Mailman's horrible reveal with the picture. But when the end happens you find yourself weeping with the weight of it all.
No…

Cate Blanchett was at my screening and came out in a low-cut jumpsuit guys

Kinda surprised (but not really) that most folks here appear to have completely missed the point of this film. This was a phenomenal portrayal of faith and Cate Blanchett did a fantastic job, and the same goes for the kid. The score and cinematography were top-notch, and the whole magical atmosphere trapped me from minute 1.

A laborious and boring yawn fest. Would put even the strongest cup of coffee to sleep. The performances are pretty good and the cinematography is spectacular but everything around those 2 things lets it all down in the end. Artsy and pretentious to a fault.

Ambitious but weak, pacing is a bit off at the second half but the camerawork is gorgeous!
