A Stitch in Time

This is a charming and enchanting movie. The story is beautifully written and the actors are wonderfully cast. The themes discussed are powerful and heavy and yet the movie will have you grinning as you leave. It follows the highs and lows of relationships, diversity and individual growth. Some of the things that particularly stood out were a refreshingly accurate portrayal of international students and the delightful unexpected friendships and connections! The protagonist is very relatable, though we share very few characteristics. The only locally made indie film that I have recommended to friends and family !!

I had a few friends and family members who didn't see this movie because they thought it would be all about sewing. When I went to the cinema with my mum (yes, we both sew) there were 8 women in total watching it. Well, it's about sewing as much as "The Wrestler" was about wrestling or "Black Swan" was about ballet. It is an excellent drama about an older woman who gets a new lease on life in her 60's - she happens to have been a dressmaker earlier in her life. I won't spoil it for you - please do yourself a favour and don't miss this Australian gem with excellent actors and a great story!

Wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by the plot. This is a must-see audience pleaser which explores aspects of gender equality, race and ageism.

This movie is definitely well worth seeing and not to be missed. It is an exceptionally moving production which not only made us cry; but laugh.

A truly great piece of Australian filmmaking which brings to light occurrences in our daily lives which are not normally brought to light. It also highlights the plight of students who are great contributors to our economy. And demonstrates how we can certainly make aspirations come true by banding together regardless of age, race or gender.

A skilful piece of filmmaking - an impressive debut!

Hoa Xuande is so gorgeous on-screen throughout the film. He did an excellent job portraying Liebe's friend Hamish. There is so much depth in the relationship between him and Liebe that reminded me of my relationship with my grandfather.

It is not often that we have an Australian film that gives an Asian actor a lead role and it's so refreshing to see that finally we have an outstanding actor representing our community on screen. The film gave a realistic portrayal of Asian Australians' everyday contribution to our diverse country. It showcased the sweat, tears, struggles, breakthrough and fun we experience. The rest of the Chinese students are simply brilliant. I won't say too much here because I don't want to give any spoiler.

Separately, Christine played by Belinda Giblin is just genius. Every time she appeared on screen, she makes us laugh out loud. In this regard, writer/director Sasha Hadden certainly had a facility of comedy. Christine's role has given much balance to the emotional journey that Liebe had travelled through. Fair to say, we were all jealous of Liebe having a good friend like Christine.

Overall, I left the cinemas feeling nourished, entertained and proud. And as I stepped out of the door, I noticed that there were no dry eyes amongst the audience. I highly recommend, A Stitch In Time.

Went to see this movie with my sister and while we were probably some of the youngest in the audience I absolutely enjoyed every part of the movie.

I didn't expect to need the tissues but it bought on a few tears without giving anything away. I really enjoyed some fantastic lines that made me laugh more than I realised.

It bought back memories and I could relate to the students living situation and enjoyed the real life feel of the whole movie.

Overall a fantastic storyline and production scenes were well created and directed and it was a truly touching and inspirational story.

Well done to everyone involved in the creation of this production! Highly recommended!
