jesshall Amy is one of the first Australian movies in a long time to hit a true cord! For those that have hit a hard time and know what it is like to live on the outskirts after having been given a glimpse of the high life, this movie will hit home.Performances by Rachel Griffiths, Alana De Roma & even Nick Barker are outstanding.The soundtrack complimnents the film from every angle Nick Barker has outdone himself.This is a movie that that moves and is capable of making us all feel.On a side note even those of us that find Ben Mendelson annoying can live with his performance in this film!

shellkev I was so captured the first time i watched Amy, i went out, bought it, then watched it again, twice in one day, not bad. Amy is the type of movie you could have tucked up the back of your collection but when watched, will still give the same effect as the first time. It restores your faith in human kindness, by showing a group of people rallying around to help a special little girl. It makes you laugh, cry.. oh boy it makes you cry,and as the cover states.. "you've heard nothing until you hear her song' is so true.. brilliant Australian Movie, should make the industry proud...Rachel Griffiths, Ben Mendelsohn and Alana De Roma, were fantastic.. If you haven't seen Amy,you are missing something special...

niggen Alana De Roma is a very talented, young actress. In her role as Amy she seems very real. The role is perfect for her. Many other commentators of this film is giving a plot summary. I`m not going to do that. I just want to give you the opportunity to go to the theater and see a great movie. The first time I saw this movie, was also the first time I heard applaud in the theater. In the beginning it seems like a heavy music video, but after a while the focus gets on Amy. The young girl who have lost her father. The music in this film is also great. It gets you into the right mood. Together with a truthful scenery of Melbourne, it lifts this film up like an elevator. The film gives you an opportunity to smile, and in the next moment, cry. I give top scores to Alana De Roma (Amy), Tanya Rammus (Rachel), Ben Mendelsohn (Robert) and the director: Nadia Tass. This is a film for real film lovers, for teachers, and others who want to see the best Australian movie ever.

Ulex I saw this movie at the Heartland Film Festival last year here in Indy, and I though it was probably one of the best movies I saw last year. Even if it wasn't, it was certainly the most original and different I've seen in quite a long time.It is the story of Amy a young girl who has been mysteriously deaf-mute for several years, for no medical reason. She lives with her protective mother, played by Rachel Griffiths, who tries, with no avail, to understand her daughter's condition.Most of the plot involves their move to small alley in a downtown Australian town, which is populated with all sorts of different, funny characters. The film goes along with just the right pacing---it doesn't rush or lag, just goes along, much like its characters, who aren't entirely sure of where their lives are going, but go on anyways.This film blends tragedy, comedy, drama, and fantasy without every confining itself to one genre. It creates its own world, using nothing but a subtle script and incredible acting.One more comment: I thought that the scene involving the little girl and the little guy, and his drumset had to be one of the cutest scenes I've seen in over a decade.
