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!

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.

You would do yourself a great disservice to miss out on seeing this Movie.
It is not about sewing, rather what happens when you decide to follow your passions and dreams, and believe that 'your audience' is yourself.
This movie is a great teacher in that it is clever, wonderfully funny, inspirationally emotional and touching work of Australian art.
I have seen this movie twice now and could watch it again and again. With each time learning more about the importance and frailness of life/living, the importance of removing barriers/stigmas/judgements, and understanding mortality humanity.
This is the story about of everyone's life. It is a mature movie for all ages that no person should miss.
Congratulations to all involved and thank you for bringing such a refreshingly great piece of work us - your audience. Very inspiring.

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!
My wife wanted us to see it and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Great acting. Great story. Deserves a much wider release. The message is that it's never too late. I don't know Sasha Haddon but I see from the credits that she/he wrote, directed, produced, edited and a bunch of other stuff. Worthy of an award.
