In Australian writer/director Jocelyn Moorhouse’s dark and quirky new film The Dressmaker, Academy Award winner Kate Winslet plays a savvy dressmaker (Till Dunnage) who returns to her rural Australian roots to uncover the truth behind her “notorious reputation.” Escandalo!
A high fashion fish-out-of-water, diving headfirst into a checkered past, all while giving major makeovers to the rough-and-tumble townsfolk? If that doesn’t have all the makings of a future gay classic, we don’t know what does.
And to add icing to the cake, Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games) plays Kate’s local farm stud love interest. Sold.

I saw it several months ago. Nice film with a good script, unique characters and her dresses are flawless.
