Ladies in Black
Against the backdrop of a cultural awakening, that story begins in Australia in 1959. Liza is a high school student living in the suburbs and is still waiting for the results of her final high school exams with dreams of going to Sydney University, a dream she has long dreamed of. Lisa decided to work in a large shop, where she began working alongside a group of salesmen who were looking into a different world.

As a light, lovely-looking entertainment, Ladies in Black is a superlative chick flick that celebrates femininity and independence as mutually supportive qualities...the film also champions how Australia was built by a rich mix of cultures.

While the film feels slightly avoidant of the deeper issues at stake, what remains is a delightfully warm-hearted film that turns a topical minefield into an inviting meadow you'll want to roll around in.

It's hardly surprising that Beresford's return to top form has come along in the shape of a movie made in Australia, based on an Australian novel, using top Australian actors and a few well-chosen ring-ins.

The way every ruffle of a dress or lace embellishment is offered a moment and how audiences can admire the pattern of a gown as much as the acting recalls Jocelyn Moorhouse's The Dressmaker...
