Sinopsis(1)
Australia, años cincuenta, Tilly Dunnage (Kate Winslet) es hermosa y modista que, tras muchos años de trabajo en exclusivas casas de moda de París, regresa a su casa en la pequeña localidad de Dungatar para corregir los errores del pasado. Allí, no sólo se reconciliará con Molly (Judy Davis), su anciana y excéntrica madre, y se enamorará inesperadamente de Teddy (Liam Hemsworth), sino que armada únicamente con su máquina de coser y su excepcional estilo, conseguirá transformar a las mujeres del pueblo y logrará su dulce y ansiada venganza.

Una extraña mezcla de drama social, que trata sobre un trauma infantil, separación violenta y dolorosa alienación de la familia, con una loca comedia en la que debemos reírnos de Hugo Weaving, un hombre gay saltando vestido de mujer. Para mí, dos mundos cinematográficos incompatibles, al menos no en esta excéntrica y espontánea presentación australiana. Si fuera obra de un desconocido, se podría tolerar.

I was sorry that the director could not reconcile the absurdities like from The Big Fish with a typical family drama from a small Australian town. The film just didn’t know which way to go, and the same was true for its humor. It’s very unsure of itself for a long time and then serves you a scene that makes you laugh like crazy. And then there’s nothing for a long time again. Even though dramatically, I daresay it is a family drama so tragic and epic that you’d hardly find its match in cinema. When such a drama turns out well, it is an unforgettable experience. I won’t forget The Dressmaker either, but I’ll keep my rating at solid three stars.

The Dressmaker is a somewhat unconventional mix of comedy and drama, with the first half introducing the audience to various quirky characters from a small Australian outback town, while the second half rides more on the dramatic wave. Themes such as revenge, the search for truth, prejudice, human limitations and the behaviour of individuals as sheep in a flock permeate the entire film. Personally, I didn't mind the somewhat sharp genre transitions, in fact I welcomed them, because they made the film rather unique. I both laughed my heart out while watching it and my eyes glazed over, which doesn't happen that often. There is only one thing to say about Kate Winslet's performance: perfect! The same goes for Hugo Weaving and Judy Davis in supporting roles. In short, a very well made film, with a lot of emotions – joy, amusement, indignation, but also sadness – proof that this is not some mediocre one-off that will fade like steam over a pot.

I was entertained throughout, the characters strongly reminded me of those in The Government Inspector. As a bonus, there’s Agent Smith/Elrond as a transvestite. Unlike some movies, this was far from a waste of time.

An unassuming film. Its start didn't impress me much, but gradually, it completely won me over, and I found myself just gaping at what I was watching. Beautifully stylized, sometimes wonderfully absurd, but above all, the stunning and literally breathtaking Kate Winslet shines, who this time didn't even have to undress. A beautiful comedy, very black, but excellent.
