The Year My Voice Broke
| Cast: | Noah Taylor, Ben Mendelsohn, Leone Carmen |
Paints an attractive and earthy picture of small town rural Australia in the 50's more so than tells an interesting story. A young kid (Taylor) is infatuated by a girl (Carmen) with a bad reputation owing to shadowy lineage. The story follows his coming of age from the point of view of his unrealised romance and finishes admirably, having delivered a great script and great performances from some Australian actors at the pinnacle of their craft. If you've heard that it's an unrequited love story you'll expect a lot more teenage frustration and tears than there are.
