Cynthia (Tapsell), Gail (Mailman), Julie (Mauboy) and Kay (Sebbens) are discovered by Dave (O'Dowd), a good-humored talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music.

The Sapphires Movie Review | |
| Why resist? -Village Voice While the fish-out-of-water story remains a little overused, the sweet soul music still provides a terrific hook. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger For the most part Aussie director Wayne Blair's feature debut is snappy and fresh. Sara Stewart-New York Post A solid, stirring song sung with more sincerity than polish. A.O. Scott-New York Times Despite some predictable facets, The Sapphires shines brightly. Claudia Puig-USA Today You could call it an Aussie Dreamgirls. I'd call it a blast of joy and music that struts right into your heart. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone You've seen this type of tale many times before...but the inspired-by-a-true-story Aboriginal slant adds interest, the actresses create unique characters and Chris O'Dowd really shines. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews This familiar but supremely well-told and produced tale of the unlikely rise of an Aboriginal female pop group in the Vietnam War-era is feel-good entertainment at its best. Performances, solid script and great music all hit the high notes. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International It sidesteps the usual cliches. Fame and fortune matter less than the human connections that are fostered and repaired on this unlikely journey. Robert Levin-amNewYork Melodramatic and clichéd to a fault, The Sapphires is however elevated by winsome performances, particularly O'Dowd, and plentiful musically-driven charm. Simon Brookfield-We Got This Covered Not even sweet soul music can turn Vietnam circa 1968 into a feel-good trip, but "The Sapphires" tries its darnedest. Greg Evans-Bloomberg News The Sapphires understands intuitively that cheap tricks still work most of the time, and it is not without its silky, assured virtues-but originality is not one of them. Nathan Rabin-AV Club The Sapphires might pass muster as escapist fluff, but its pretensions of significance go woefully awry. Sam Adams-Time Out New York Wayne Blair isn't interested in historical complexity or subtext, just the seamless flow of Hollywood-style storytelling that lazily connects one musical number to the next. Glenn Heath Jr.-Slant Magazine Adorable, with a winning Chris O'Dowd turn. But overall, an unpolished gem Roger Moore-Movie Nation An aggressively entertaining movie..that can be serious when it wants, without ever taking itself too seriously. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine Singin', swingin' and sparkly, it's a sentimental, feel-good crowd-pleaser. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate A well-deserved tribute to four Aussie lassies who risked their lives to entertain the boys. Kam Williams-AALBC.com | |
