Picnic at Hanging Rock
- Commentary: Under construction.
Although in the movie review linked to the title of this post Roger Ebert gave this movie three and a half stars, eventually, in 1998, he christened it as one of his four star Great Movies and reviewed it, again, as such.
In 2022, when director Peter Weir received a lifetime achievement Oscar, the site also published retrospective article about the director, which makes for interesting reading if you're a fan of his work. I am one of his fans, so I found it interesting. Turns out, I am so much of a fan that I own most of his movies.
