My Brilliant Career (1979) short review

Kendra May 7, 1979

1979 My Brilliant Career

Such a fabulous movie based on a fabulous book.  Judy Davis plays Sybylla Melvyn, a literate tomboy growing up in the Australian outback who yearns for much more.  Sam Neill is the landowner who falls in love with her, and Sybylla is forced to choose between a life of conventional values or independence.  Just such a moving, wonderful movie.
