Review of Sweetie

Sweetie (1989)
8/10
This Film is a Perfect Debut from Campion
24 December 2023
Jane Campion was considered to be one of New Zealand's Finest Directors. I watched her film, The Piano. This film focuses on the hazardous relationship between the buttoned-down, superstitious Kay and her rampaging, devil-may-care sister, Sweetie-and their family's profoundly rotten roots. The film was good, a perfect debut for this female director. I love how this film was colorful photography and captivating, idiosyncratic characters; the rugged and tender Sweetie heralded the emergence of this gifted director and a renaissance of Australian cinema, which would take the film world by storm in the nineties.
