I'm thinking about going to the movies tomorrow. [I had intended to go today, but got caught up on here instead.lol] and was wondring if anyone has seen "The Dressmaker"?

Haven't seen the film, but I have read the book and, and, yes, I think you'll enjoy it - but take a few tissues, you'll need them.

I hadn't realised she was missing.

It's always nice to go to the movies with someone else.

I'll be going on my own this time.

I loved. I love the quirkiness of the characters and the ultimate act of revenge, except that she mentioned the David Jones store in Bourke St. It didn't exist in the era that the book was set in and would have still been Buckleys& Nunn. Whoever said that your writing is only as good as your weakest word was correct. Otherwise, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

What a great movie and what a treasure trove of cast members. It captured the book brilliantly. Well worth seeing.

I'd like to see that one too. I've really enjoyed every movie I've seen with Kate Winslet, even the obscure ones

She is good. I love it when the cast looks as if they thoroughly enjoyed being in a movie. This was one of them. There was not a bad performance from anyone.
