The Sapphires Movie Review | |
| Let's trivialize a legacy of cruelty and denigration, in a country where indigenous people suffered from centuries of human rights abuse! And let's make the carnage of Vietnam look like a paintball game! Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer [A] genial, entertaining, cliché-ridden showbiz story from Australia. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader "The Sapphires" illustrates how the same old story - in this case, the one about a 1960s girl group and its struggles - can be freshened up through the novelties of place and characterization. Ty Burr-Boston Globe A very conventional story of a '60s Australian girl group gains extra power from its context and setting in this fact-based story set to the beat of Motown soul. Nell Minow-Chicago Sun-Times The performers improve it, or save it, depending on your viewpoint. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune "The Sapphires" is a bit like a puppy you're trying to house break. It may have its bad cinematic moments but it's just so darn appealing that you have to love it. Charlie McCollum-San Jose Mercury News If you love the music of Motown and enjoy a feel good success flick, then "The Sapphires" fits the bill. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews Delirious surprises crowd out the clichés in this thoroughly disarming movie. Michael Sragow-Orange County Register Mauboy has one hell of a voice, and the Sapphires' vocal performances speak to the endless power of great soul songs. Matt Pais-RedEye Irresistibly feel good, sound good movie, wears hearts and social relevance on its sparkly sleeve. . .Fun and racial tolerance amidst war [with] sterling aborigine talent. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com The most affable, innocuous outing ever set in a war zone. Erick Weber-NECN With O'Dowd in the lead, and a hit-soundtrack-ready selection of tunes from the Stax and Motown catalogs and more, The Sapphires is popcorn entertainment, with some earned laughs and a genuine heart. Kevin Jagernauth-The Playlist It helps that the leading actors are so skillful and appealing, beginning with Chris O'Dowd as a roguish Irishman who becomes the girls' manager... Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks You've seen this type of tale many times before...but the inspired-by-a-true-story Aboriginal slant adds interest, the actresses create unique characters and Chris O'Dowd really shines. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews This familiar but supremely well-told and produced tale of the unlikely rise of an Aboriginal female pop group in the Vietnam War-era is feel-good entertainment at its best. Performances, solid script and great music all hit the high notes. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International It sidesteps the usual cliches. Fame and fortune matter less than the human connections that are fostered and repaired on this unlikely journey. Robert Levin-amNewYork Melodramatic and clichéd to a fault, The Sapphires is however elevated by winsome performances, particularly O'Dowd, and plentiful musically-driven charm. Simon Brookfield-We Got This Covered Not even sweet soul music can turn Vietnam circa 1968 into a feel-good trip, but "The Sapphires" tries its darnedest. Greg Evans-Bloomberg News | |
