An offbeat comedic drama about a vengeful fashion designer in 1950s Australia.
Kate Winslet is very good as the sultry femme fatale with a mysterious past. She's been proving herself as a talented actress time and again since Titanic. But it's been a while since a movie reminded audiences how sexy and alluring she can be.
Liam Hemsworth has a chance to prove his dramatic chops and does fine as the dashing love interest. Hugo Weaving is funny as the crossdressing cop who befriends Winslet.
The movie does juggle back and forth between light humor and dark drama. But not always successfully.
