    I really liked this movie. But, it would be nice if a judge would make the Father move to the West coast.

    Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis always a winner, and a upcoming star of House.

    My family thought this was a good movie although not suitable for kids--too much violence. The picture of Australia during the Kennedy years was wonderful.
