Oranges & Sunshine
April 20th 2011 20:28
(2011) Emily Watson, Hugo Weaving, David Wenham, Richard Dillane. Dir: Jim Loach.
A social worker tries to reunite orphans forcibly migrated from the UK to Australia in 50s – 70s. A true and very moving story, told in a way that avoids melodrama, relying on a more believably human, and arguably English, response to traumatic events. Understated and the better for it.
