Hoozurdaddy?

"Radiance" is a little Aussie indie with a cast of five and a focus on three sisters who are reunited by the death of their mother. Most of the film is dedicated to dialogue between the trio of sibs as they sort through old issues and discover new ones - all painting a portrait of the dead mother while leading to a dramatic crescendo. This dialogue-intensive film has only a marginal level of substance given it's narrowness and most of the time is divided between fleshing out the characters and working through family matters. An okay small screen watch for Aussie flick fans and viewers into tight dramas. Keep expectations low to avoid disappointment. (C+)

Love Hate Relationship with three wicked sisters!

I was enchanted and romanced by three lovable wicked sisters. I love the one liners. I love the crude remarks. I love the clashes and I love the final outcome. You could say I enjoyed this film. The Luis Nowra play transported nicely onto the screen with the help of an observing eye from Rachel. Please throw more money her way, I can see this filmmaker maturing with every work she may create.

Three sisters are reunited by their mother's death.

Three sisters are reunited by their mother's death. Having led separate lives, the girls seem to have little in common. The intense Mae stayed with Mum to the end. The brooding Chrissy has pursued a singing career overseas, the vivacious Nona is just becoming a woman. The funeral itself is a very sad affair. It seems reconciliation is still a long way off in this part of Australia. A single woman of dubious morality, and aboriginal at that, did not make for a large congregation of mourners. The girls get on with the grieving process as best they can, but it will come as no surprise that as well as Mum's ashes in the can, there are a few skeletons in this family's closet. A wonderful script gives credibility to this excellent drama with operatic overtones. Beautifully shot among the canefields on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, this is a story, indeed an epic for any millenium.
