Ladies in Black
Description
This story tells about a different drama coming from Sydney in 1959. That story begins with a student called Lisa and lives in the suburbs. Lisa is still waiting for the results of her final high school exams with Dreams going to the University of Sydney, where she takes a summer job at a large store. Here she works side by side with a group of salesmen who turn their eyes to a world beyond their protected existence and their lives may change completely.

This is a deftly assembled and rigorously paced showcase for some truly excellent comic writing and performances.

While the film feels slightly avoidant of the deeper issues at stake, what remains is a delightfully warm-hearted film that turns a topical minefield into an inviting meadow you'll want to roll around in.

As a light, lovely-looking entertainment, Ladies in Black is a superlative chick flick that celebrates femininity and independence as mutually supportive qualities...the film also champions how Australia was built by a rich mix of cultures.

Rich performances and richer dresses make up for Ladies In Black's fraying script.

The way every ruffle of a dress or lace embellishment is offered a moment and how audiences can admire the pattern of a gown as much as the acting recalls Jocelyn Moorhouse's The Dressmaker...

Lovely to look at from afar, but boasting extra detail when seen from a closer vantage.

"Ladies" is let down by a screenplay lacking the sharp wit and emotional depth to bring its characters and themes fully to life.

Ladies in Black isn't really a plot-driven movie, it's more of a mood, it's about inviting you to spend some time in this lovely, quaint world where it's always sunny.

It's hardly surprising that Beresford's return to top form has come along in the shape of a movie made in Australia, based on an Australian novel, using top Australian actors and a few well-chosen ring-ins.

While it paints a picture of 1959 Australia that's certainly romanticised, [it] proves so damn charming it doesn't really matter.

Ladies in Black quietly but effectively points out the seldom-stressed positives of immigration and integration, and thus deserves attention far beyond its own native shores.

From the eye-popping colours of the period's fabulous floral dresses to the snapped suspenders and silk petticoats beneath, this is a film above all for women who love fashion.
