Summary

As Lee-ver comes to a close (maybe?!), we decided to revisit a recent Kate Winslet vehicle that’s also a fun antidote to tHesE tiMeS. In 2015, Jocelyn Moorhouse (a director we love talking about here on THOB) returned with the TIFF premiere of The Dressmaker. Adapted from the Rosalie Ham novel, the film stars Winslet as a woman returning to her small Australian town – and bringing couture and a spirit of vengeance with her. With Judy Davis as her town outcast mother and Hugo Weaving as the town’s queer cop, the film got a little lost in the shuffle when Amazon released it the next year.

This episode, we talk about Davis’ two Oscar nominations and her legendary performance in Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows. We also discuss Sarah Snook’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo audition, Liam Hemsworth as Winslet’s love interest of unclear age, and 2016 Supporting Actress.

Topics also include the 2016 Costume Design nominations, small town outsiders, and Winslet as movie star.
