Beautiful Kate

Rachel Ward's Beautiful Kate was the final Australian film to screen in competition at the Sydney Film Festival. Applause may have filled the State Theatre at the world premiere, but I think it's telling that the first question from the audience was a rather blunt, "Where do you think you can market this?"

While the film is undeniably beautiful, the subject matter may not be so appealing. I had a long and animated chat with friends on the way home from the screening and I'm sure I'll debate the film much more in the weeks to come.

In the meantime though, you can click here to read my review on Rotten Tomatoes and/or you can check out the trailer.
