Its very fabric is something to behold

Tilly Dunnage returns to her home town to confront the demons of her past, and spend some time with her mother- or so she thinks. While so at home in the country, her elegant and richly coloured clothing is uniquelly out of place with the rustic appeal of the town.

Yet rather than welcoming friendly folk, the members of her would-be-community are judgemental and cruel. As Tilly progresses in her stay, it seems the more she befriends the people from her past, the more others strive to kick her down.

In the face of it all, the colourful police inspector provides a lot of laughs, as Teddy wins her heart and shields her from the dark world as best he can.

However, the film also contains tragic turns and sorely unanticipated twists.

This film is fantastic. I was very impressed by it. It made me laugh as hard as I cried, and the acting was exceptional against the beautiful backdrop of the Australian outback and the richness of the clothing.

Five Quills out of Five, and many more than that if I could.
