Loved this. All of the actors were great. Our Victorian scenery would make the world envious. Proud of the Aussies. More please.

I just watched this some years after its production. The sole reason for the 2 stars is because of the frustration at the incompetency of all involved, including the British investigators. One woman was 'head-hunted' to ensure that Madeleine's disappearance was 'visible' to the world, heh? What was she paid? Another so called British child exploitation 'expert' says that upon meeting the dad, Gerry, he didn't find him 'warm'. What the? The Portugese head honcho (God help us all) considers that the mum could not have 'peeped' under the bed (upon realising that MM was gone) because the base of the bed nearly went to the floor (wouldn't you peep?). A 'higly respected' Portugese journo later dined at the tapas restaurant at the same table which was clearly in line of sight to the apartment (albeit from some distance) but the pull down plastic blind made it 'blurry or dirty''. Her conclusion: the whole group were clearly liars and in cahoots. Porque? You couldn't make this stuff up, it was so bad. The whole lot were a bunch of buffoons apart from the poor parents and the men falsely imprisoned and accused.

Woop. I accidentally stumbled on a trailer maybe? On Netflix. A scene of Mrs Sussex randomly blowing and fluffing about with an arrangement of pink balloons? When one escapes to the ceiling, she announces how they don’t have to be perfect? Laughed out loud and wanted to jump off a cliff. Dreadful, cringeworthy, embarrassing.

The movie was just on free to air. I hadn’t watched it for over 20 years. Can’t believe it’s nearly 35yo. The two girls are sensational; it’s hilarious in places and has an underlying eeriness to it. It has serious domestic violence issues but it’s not necessarily a Metoo#/feminist try hard kind of message. It’s too detailed and clever to be given a label. Could watch it again and again.

A great short series. Well done the Australian film industry. The Balinese actors were super too.

One of the best and most inspiring documentaries ever.

I watched this on Amazon with my 26yo son and wanted to crawl under the couch. Not sure how we hung in there. It was cringeworthy, embarrassing and you’ll need therapy after witnessing the filthy scenes. All of the actors were dreadful (surprising really, given the depth of talent). The gratuitous screenplay was mostly to blame.
