Customer Reviews of Soft Fruit
One to remember I chose this video not really knowing what to expect, and was very glad I had. This story of a dysfunctional family gathering together as their wife and mother prepares to die captivated me from the start. Andreef realistically and humourously depicts the way mother Patsy and her family try to come to terms with her impending death and with their troubled relationships with each other. Each of the characters comes across as flawed but very human. Russell Dykstra gives a standout performance as the likeable ex-con son Bo. With the help of Bo, Patsy quietly asserts her right to spend her last days the way she wants, while her daughters try in vain to keep her safely in bed. To sum ... funny, moving, and real.
Funny Insightful Journey
This film reminded me a bit of the also excellent Jane Campion movie "Sweetie". The family here is made up of three overweight bickering sisters,an endearing substance abusing brother, a strange father who enjoys shooting birds out of trees for unclear reasons, and a dying mother.
The character of the mother is the most interesting, from her admiration of Jackie O., to her bond with her wild son. The best sequence in the film has the son taking his mother to the beach where both binge on morphine and feel alive. Beautiful.
Well drawn charecters, beautiful Australian scenery, and some very funny moments combine to make this a must see.
Humorous, Poignant--A Good Story.
Sans the spit and polish of Hollywood cinema, this film is both humorous and poignant. A really good story, and those, unfortunately, are often hard to come by. I thought the writing and directing were wonderful and the cast exceptional. The brother/son and sister Rita are stand-outs. If you like Spitfire Grill, Northern Exposure, Britcoms, or Waking Ned Devine, you'll love it; I sure did.
