Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A stylish and intriguing debut from Rachel Ward. However, despite its good looks, this film ulimately has little to say for itself.
Fresh: A powerful tale of forbidden love, isolation and making peace with the past. Beautiful Kate is truly hypnotic.
Fresh: Part outback mystery, part kitchen-sink drama, Beautiful Kate is a remarkably assured directorial debut from Ward, who has honed her craft on short films.
Fresh: Beautiful Kate is the best thing by far opening this week, and a memorable feature debut from Rachel Ward.
