The Sapphires (2012)
1/10
Say..cheese!
17 March 2013
Four Aboriginal girls stumble upon an agent during a talent show. They decide to tour Vietnam with him to escape their destiny in their rural and racist hometown and hopefully attract the attention of some serious music business people to further their careers.

The film plays out almost amateurish with a super bad script and inept acting performances all around. Every cliché from the Writing Soap Operas For Dummies is crammed into this listless and predictable attempt at story telling. The drama in particular stands out as being dragged in by the hairs as to give the already dusty premise some extra length of bone. But everything falls flat here. Though the music score is nice (but who doesn't like the soul classics of yesteryear) this is the type of film the fast forward button was invented for.

35/100
