The Dressmaker (I) (2015)
6/10
Where is my whimsical romance comedy?
7 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I've wanted to watch this movie ever since I saw the trailer months back. I waited for it to come to my city, never did. After watching it on Amazon video, I'm glad I didn't go through the trouble of paying 20 dollars for watching it.

This movie is just a whole lot of "What.... why? Wtf?...." "Uhhhhhh...." I had hoped there was some higher meaning for the events that occurred, that there was a great underlying plot to it all, and maybe, just maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but, there isn't.

The plot and "moral conflict" is so weak it can be barely called that. I like quirky movies, and no, a movie doesn't have to make sense for it to be enjoyed. But this movie has these events that seem random just for the purpose of being random. There is no higher meaning, no greater mystery, nothing at all. It would have been better if Tilly had never come back. A catwalk of beautiful designs would have been more enjoyable. (the dresses are the only reason it even got a 6)

Where was the romance? There were more scenes of the old lady with Liam than anyone else. And what the heck was the point of him dying? To tell us she really is cursed? Okay. I don't feel sad for him, more of "that's kinda random" moment. The audience had not yet given the time or right amount of charm to fall in love with him before killing him. It did not cause grief, but just another "wtf moment". What was his role anyway? All he did was smile and take his shirt off. Am I suppose to fall in love with that? :/ I am sad you think I am that easy to please. Shame on you.
