SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

rytngrl This small and unassuming town, perhaps on the map for many already because it's where the "rock star" of Australian art, Ben Quilty, lives and also because it's that jaw-droppingly gorgeous setting the movie "Babe" was filmed in, is about to get a whole lot more famous. If the combination of sweetness, quirk, humor and achingly beautiful landscape don't get you wondering if it's time to think about moving to the country, the unmistakably cool vibe of the place will. This film manages to capture both the sleepiness of a small, rural community while peeling back this veneer to expose the thriving artistic and historical heart of the place. By the end of the movie, you feel like a local yourself. If you can't sell the house in the city and move to a farmhouse overlooking a misty valley dotted with cows and a kitchen table crowded with artists, potato farmers and composers, you can at least immerse yourself in the experience for a short while by watching this film. Highly recommended.

peonyden Tony and Anna Williams have captured well the spirit of the community, and the physical beauty of the district. They also show our quirks and a few "crazies" as well, which is good, because we are not all saints and movie-stars. Far from it. The visual beauty of the film stems from the district, but the character of the people is what really shines through. Robertson somehow attracts, or even creates, interesting people who combine to be a strongly bonded community. We share the mists, the rain, the mud and the occasional sunshine, and blossom into a beautiful flower which you get to see bloom in "A place called Robertson".
