This was a good story given short shrift in this film. The male performances were all very good, and they did a great job casting the characters to match their real-life counterparts; however, I did feel Nicole Kidman was very weak in the role of Patti. The story and message of reconciliation are poignant, but the time period is much better represented in Empire of the Sun (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092965/) and the theme of reconciliation more completely told in Five Minutes of Heaven (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1238291/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_32).
Robyn and Jodi are sisters.
Sisters who love movies.
And films.
And discussing at length the difference between a movie and a film.
When we go to the movies together, a discussion and evaluation will usually follow. These conversations are often lively and humourous, with insights, comparisons and even catty criticisms!
We will try to capture that here, to share with anybody who is interested, while we bask in our imagined celebrity!
