 DVD Times - Radiance
The three actresses all give committed performances — each gets their own setpiece — but Deborah Mailman has the showiest role as the life-loving and free-loving Nona, and won an Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress.
(The only difference this really makes is it allows Mailman to talk about her winning the AFI Award.) The interviews are divided into sections, each labelled with a question: Deborah Mailman (8:45, 8 chapters), Trisha Morton-Thomas (4:26, 5 chapters), Rachael Maza (5:47, 5 chapters), Rachel Perkins (7:43, 6 chapters) and Louis Nowra (7:57, 6 chapters).
(Mailman has a smallish role in Rabbit-Proof Fence, for example, and Maza coached the child actresses in that film.) Otherwise, it’s worth seeing if you have an interest in the subject matter, or in stage adaptations, or are simply in the mood for a good comedy-drama.
