Amazon Studios & Broad Green Pictures
Based on the book by
Kate Winslet, Liam Hemsworth, Judy Davis
My comments: The first half of this film was wonderful...but I HATED what they did to (spoiler!) Liam Hemsworth. I know that it drew the plot along....thank goodness it didn't happen at the end of the film....but it sure set my spirits L-O-W!!! The ending made up for it, but I was never able to pop up above the surface again.
RT/ IMDb Summary: The Dressmaker tells the story of the beautiful and talented Tilly Dunnage (Academy Award winner Kate Winslet). After years working as a dressmaker in exclusive Parisian fashion houses, Tilly returns home to a town in the Australian outback to reconcile with her eccentric mother Molly (Academy Award nominee Judy Davis). She also falls in love with the pure-hearted Teddy (Liam Hemsworth), and armed with her sewing machine and haute couture style, Tilly transforms the women of the town, exacting sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.
