I haven't seen any Bruce Beresford films, except for the magnificent 'Black Robe', and I'm a huge fan of the four main actors, so it was a no-brainer that I would eventually watch this. I enjoyed it greatly, and if you can handle a quieter 80's women's picture, there's much to enjoy here. Definitely ... worth investigating for the cinephile with exquisite taste.
