Another really good, engaging Australian film, though one I have to say left me feeling sad, and bleak.

What a beautiful production! I loved everything about this series - the setting, the cast & the acting, the great mix of different characters, the storyline and the dialogue. Much enjoyed seeing the talented Danielle Mcdonald and Helen Thomas again too.

Great acting by Kidman and Firth, tense, uncomfortable at times. But in the end, having not read the book, too many unanswered questions, the biggest for me being why she was attacked in the first place (& left for dead?).

I've always enjoyed watching Kate Winslet perform her skills as an actress, but she's gob-smackingly superb in this role as the extraordinary war photographer Lee Miller. Apart from a blip in the storytelling aspect (can't believe someone as aware as Lee Miller, and her friend who was part of the underground movement in France during the war, wouldn't have known until liberation was achieved in France that hundreds of thousands of people had been taken from France to Nazi concentration and extermination camps.) But for the rest, it's well told, sensitively directed, visually spot on and emotionally powerful. Good on ya KW and Antony Penrose for bringing this woman's story to film and the public consciousness.

A truly WONDERFUL movie, beautifully filmed. Having read the brilliant book many moons ago, and seen the first movie made of it, which was very different and very good too, I wanted to see this latest iteration. I didn't know it was a musical, which is just as well as I may not have made the effort to see it on its last showing here, but it was SO well choreographed, and I really enjoyed the songs & voices & the dances. It was empowering (for women), joyful, moving, and although it was a bit god-y for me at the end it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of this fabulous film. And it was great to see Whoopi Goldberg again even though it was such a brief appearance. Do yourself a favour and see this enriching treat of a film.

Brilliant. A feast for all the senses! SO refreshing to have something that's this different, for a change - it's been way too long! (Unless I've missed something special...) Superb acting by Emma Stone, in an intelligently thought out role. So much to talk about re this film, best to just see it for yourself. (Or read Eric Bellamy's v. good review below.)

Having seen the documentary RBG just a few weeks ago, and it was excellent, am wondering if this might disappoint?...anyone seen both, and if so, does this movie live up to the documentary?

Warm, engaging, great soundtrack and what an utter refreshing joy this movie is!
