Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Imdbidia Bran Nue Dae is an Australian musical comedy based on a stage work of the 1990s. Set in 1869, it tells the story of Willie, a teen Aborigine from Broome whom his mum wants to become a priest, who runs out of his boarding school in Perth after a rebellious act against the priest-director of the school.This is a very light-hearted movie, with a cheeky and somewhat absurd plot, very charming and unpretentious, with a bit of road movie and coming of age story. The characters are very real and warm, the Outback landscapes are fantastic, and the music is terrific, with catchy songs that, however, have lyrics that are relevant for Australian culture and indigenous Australians.What is wonderful about the story is that Aborigines are the main actors, but they are not marginal people, they are normal characters, proud to be Australian and Aborigines, and that nothing is taken seriously or dramatically.The acting by all the newcomers (singer Lisa Maubay, singer Missy Higgins, singer Dan Sultan, and HS student Rocky McKenzy) is decent enough to carry the story on, while Geofrey Rush, Deborah Mailman and Magda Subanski are terrific in their humorous small roles. Tom Budge is delightful as a German young man searching for his father. Ernie Dingo is also good in his role of uncle Tadpole, as well as Ningaly Lawford-Wolf as Willy's mother, Theresa.The scene with the Aboriginal elders is truly terrific and magical and somewhat gets the spirit of the Australian Outback.Lots of fun and a great vibe.

Hollywoodrulez Bran nue dae is one of the best Aussie made feature films I've seen. The songs are natural and help to move the story along at a good pace. The camera work also works well to help tell the story of where our main character is heading along his journey back home to broome. The landscapes in the film are great and it has a lot of vibrant warm coulours. Even in the chapel scene when the priest is punishing the boys the director and costume department choose bright yellow shirts to give the scene a bit more of a warm comedic feel to it. The story is well written and well directed. The only thing I have to take marks off for is the clasification of the film. I think it should have been M rated due to a certain song sang in the bar scene. Other then that it is a well made Aussie film.

john-575 A 5pm Sunday summer afternoon session for us for Bran Nue Dae. Most of the cast with the exception of the young male lead are very well known in Australia. Jessica Mauboy of course was runner up for Australian Idol a couple of years ago and has gone onto a successful recording career. And lost a little bit of weight since making this film so looks very hot. Great locations (Broome, Perth and the seminary down near Perth) and a positive upbeat feel about being an aborigine. For me, right or wrong, that's the most positive thing about this movie. Enjoyed Missie Higgins, Deborah Mailman also very well known for TV shows like "A Secret Life" and stage shows is engaging as the sexually free spirit from the Kimberleys.Possibly the only negative was that the leading younger male part is somewhat reserved by nature and that holds the film's energy back a little. Ernie Dingo is great as Uncle Tadpole and his vocals as the closing credits roll are a standout. Ernie a couple of years ago was on another Aussie TV show "It takes two" where celebrities and TV stars team up with professional singers in a 16 week or so competition.Geoffrey Rush I wasn't so taken with. Missy Higgins I liked your smile, the character and the singing.Chuck in plenty of great Aussie scenery, blue water, good locations, a an old 1950s Mercedes, a Kombi van, a HD Holden ute and some toe-tapping musical numbers and it's a enjoyable enough 90 mins.

petersj-2 "Bran Nue Day" was one of the most magical nights I ever had in the theatre. The young Aboriginal cast was a delight and although the young experienced cast may not have had the polish of more seasoned performers it was still a warm engaging production. I had reservations about seeing the movie; I was worried it would become too slick and too polished. Director Rachel Perkins has assembled a cast of slick professionals such as Geoffrey Rush and Ernie Dingo and both give fine over the top performances but she has also gathered some new faces such as Jessica Mauboy and Rocky McKenzie who hold their own really well against the seasoned performers. Dingo carries the film and gives a fabulous performance in what is a purposely corny contrived plot. The contrivances worked superbly with a live audience but I am not sure if a film audience will enjoy it. Wisely the director has kept the film character driven rather getting carried away with location. .The only jarring note is Missy Higgins who seems wooden and uncomfortable. I have always found her to be a mediocre singer but she is an even worse actress. Still there is plenty to enjoy in the feel good musical. I warn you it is contrived but that's its charm and there is plenty of energy in the film. Rocky McKenzie is a real scene stealer and one of the most delightful young actors I have seen
