Reviews
Tetrady not as good as all the hype
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
jesshall Amy is one of the first Australian movies in a long time to hit a true cord! For those that have hit a hard time and know what it is like to live on the outskirts after having been given a glimpse of the high life, this movie will hit home.Performances by Rachel Griffiths, Alana De Roma & even Nick Barker are outstanding.The soundtrack complimnents the film from every angle Nick Barker has outdone himself.This is a movie that that moves and is capable of making us all feel.On a side note even those of us that find Ben Mendelson annoying can live with his performance in this film!
gorg_w this is an amazingly beautiful film that gets me tingly every time i watch it. young Amy and her mother travel to the big city to try and crack Amy's psychological problem of being a deaf mute. to find the answer we meet great characters, and some real Aussie's. comedy, drama, romance, tears. possibly the best Australian film ever. whenever i see it i end up with a warm feeling, and wishing i was a musician. a must see for anyone with a heart.
pkeets I hope this is a tribute to The Who's TOMMY rather than a rip off, as the plot and the style are very similar. The rock opera about a child who became psychologically deaf, dumb and blind after witnessing a murder debuted in 1969, and has since been made into a movie and an award-winning musical.
andrewr69 Amy is perhaps one the best Australian films ever made. Its character development, intensity of plot and rich/realistic mise en scene are perfect examples of what the Au. film industry are capable of. After such bombardment from polished, OTT, sanitised and join-the-dot-plot US films...AHHHH a refreshing change that is purely Australian, Real, and above all us!
