The Sapphires – 7

What’s not to like in a film about four young Aborigines overcoming racism, entertaining our troops in Vietnam, finding love and singing classic Motown tunes under the tutelage of the loveable Chris O’Dowd, reprising his character in Bridesmaids? Well, lack of originality for one thing. Every plot development screamed “formula,” and there was a sense of amateurism accompanying the inauthenticity. In short, it would’ve been much better to discover this film at the SBIFF, where it first played in Santa Barbara.
