Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Marchetta got it right. Twice.
Based on Melina Marchetta's great novel of the same name, I'm glad to say the producers of this movie had the sense to get Marchetta to write the screenplay. She has tweaked the story a little to achieve the right pace for the screen, but the overall sense of the characters and their development is retained.
Josie Alibrandi's story is one I can relate to deeply, being of mixed racial heritage & growing up in Australia during the same period as the book is set. I'm glad to say that it now seems incomprehensible that such racism could occur in our society, even only twenty years on, but the book & film still document a time in our history that is worth remembering - hopefully as a means of preventing a return to such prejudice.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another good aussie film
An Italian Australian battles with her identity in Sydney's western suburbs. Local star Pia Miranda shines in the lead with Greta Scacchi as her mum.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Looking for Alibrandi...Brilliant!
Based on the bestselling novel, this film is a heartwarming coming of age story. Josie is a teenage girl growing up in Sydney, struggling with her identity.
Falling in love, suicide, family secrets, school and friendships, this film will make you laugh and cry. A must see for anyone who has ever been young....
