Journey Among Women Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
kgemes Journey Among Women was a bold experiment in storytelling about women who seek liberation in colonial society which treated women as slaves. It was undertaken by a collective of brave and talented women . The script was written by Dianne Fuller. In accord with feminist principles of the time - the women sought control of the way their characters were depicted in the film. The film was extended by improvisation by the actors. Though it is a film of it's time and may appear to be dated , it is a rare instance of women empowering themselves in the film making process in a way which has rarely been repeated.It remains a unique film in the history of Australian film making.
rcs8 It's been years since I saw this film. BRAVO network used to show it fairly regularly back in the early 80's. Yes, it is somewhat silly at times, but it held my attention from start to "Weekend"-style finish. Basically good fun. A 6 or 7 out of 10.
charmech According to the pre-release publicity in Australia, this movie was made by a feminist collective who had no script to follow, preferring to make up the dialog as they went along. It made me ashamed to be a feminist. The acting and dialog were painfully awkward. So the plot is about a bunch of young female convicts dumped in the penal colony in Sydney in the 1780s. They live in squalor and are periodically raped by evil guards. They break out and run away to "the bush" to live an idyllic existence with the aborigines. It gets very anachronistic during this part of the movie.
