⭐ Featured Review

the best Australian comedy about communism ...ever
by rep12000-09-04
8/10

"Judy Davis is a young communist in 1950 Australia. She corresponds with Stalin and gets an invitation to Moscow. The trip changes her life (of course) which we get to follow for the next 40 years. You'll be hooked after the first two minutes of this very original film. Great performances (especially from Judy Davis) and unique plot twists made this film worth watching...."

💡 Did You Know?

Judy Davis plays Richard Roxburgh's mother in this film, even though there is only seven years' difference in their actual ages.
