Aussie films are killing it right now! The Dry was a near perfect film. Now Penguin Bloom is the positive film through adversity we need right now.
Directed by Glendyn Ivin, from a screenplay by Shaun Grant and Harry Cripps. Penguin Bloom is based on the book by Cameron Bloom and Bradley Trevor Greive.
With Naomi Watts and the Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln leading a stellar cast. Where Jacki Weaver and Rachel House as Gaye steal the scenes they are in.
Released in Australia by Roadshow Films on January 21, 2021. The film will also see a release in the United States via Netflix on January 27. Hopefully this will give the film a wide audience.
Naomi Watts and Jackie Weaver are officially now national treasures as they lead this film and the Aussie
film industry back after a quiet 2020. With The Dry still screening, Penguin Bloom and incoming films Operation Rainfall and High Ground incoming.
So with four Aussie films on the go, it's time to support the local industry. This is a strong start to 2021 for the Aussie film industry.
OK, so my review. I loved this. I almost cried a few times, I was motivated, touched and inspired. The family behind Watts was so beautiful. You can read more about Sam (Watts character) HERE.
In short Sam Bloom is a bloody star. Loved this film, even learned to love magpies more. 4.5 Stars. Great!
Simple plot if you are keen -
A photographer and his family find hope and solace in an injured Magpie chick, helping them adjust to his wife's paralysis following a fall.
