Based on the best-selling novel by Rosalie Ham, THE DRESSMAKER is a bittersweet, comedy-drama set in early 1950’s Australia. Tilly Dunnage (KATE WINSLET), a beautiful and talented misfit, after many years working as a dressmaker in exclusive Parisian fashion houses, returns home to the tiny middle-of-nowhere town of Dungatar to right the wrongs of the past. Not only does she reconcile with her ailing, eccentric mother Molly (JUDY DAVIS) and unexpectedly falls in love with the pure-hearted Teddy (LIAM HEMSWORTH), armed with her sewing machine and incredible sense of style, she transforms the women of the town and in doing so gets sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.

It's an okay sort of comedy. Somewhat plodding and nothing on Priscilla or Muriel. The cinematography is amazing so it's beautiful to look at and the actors and actresses are all pretty good. The comedy feels forced and the storyline is paper thin. There were a few comic moments but not enough to really make you laugh out loud. I'd have given this a higher score but I've taken a star off because the presentation of the film here on PLAY doesn't have subtitles. As a person with a hearing problem, these are an absolute must-have. Normally if I had a film like this on DVD with no subtitles, I'd rip it to disk and find an appropriate SRT file to make it watchable. Obviously I can't do that with PLAY so instead; Google, you need to lift your game.

Really liked the movie and the story line to be precise. The issue was with streaming sync & quality. The audio was either ahead or behind the video and I couldn't get nothing more that SD trying multiple devices even though I had paid for HD. Bottom line: Good movie, but I'm not going to stream movies on google play again.

This was a film that didn't know what it wanted to be. It left me sitting and waiting for it to get going... Which it never did. Save your time and money and give this one a wide berth.
