Storyline:
1968 was the year that changed the world. And for four young Aboriginal sisters from a remote mission this is the year that would change their lives forever. Around the globe, there was protest and revolution in the streets. Indigenous Australians finally secured the right to vote. There were drugs and the shock of a brutal assassination. And there was Vietnam. The sisters, Cynthia, Gail, Julie and Kay are discovered by Dave, a talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music. Billed as Australia's answer to 'The Supremes', Dave secures the sisters their first true gig, and flies them to Vietnam to sing for the American troops. Based on a true story, THE SAPPHIRES is a triumphant celebration of youthful emotion, family and music.

The Sapphires is a wonderful, entertaining movie. It's funny at times, sad at times, and has great music and acting. Make sure you stay for the "where are they now" credits at the end.

This movie rocks! Actually, it has soul! The music these characters sing is the best of the 60s soul, but it's more than that. It's the music that fed the civil rights movement with passion. These ladies can sing! Amid all of the soul music, there's the plight of the aborigines of Australia in a time of extreme racism against them. They find themselves on the road as musicians to American soldiers in Vietnam. There's great character development and the story moves nicely. This is a truly romantic movie, despite the setting. You should see it if you're in the mood for romance and love 60s soul music. Who doesn't?

Perhaps the heroines were amateurrs and the movie wanted to reflect that. But for the very feel good ending, a most enjoyable Chris Dowd, and an interesting bit of information about the Viet Nam War, the movie would not have made it past the cutting room floor. The director and screenwriter seemed to want to make this film relevant and address the terrible racist practices in Australia (as well as universal racism, viz. the wounded white American soldier refusing the aid of a black soldier when he can have the aid of someone he thinks is white, which practices under law have been there until recently, but the film merely drops references in maybe 3-4 times. It does not make those practices truly part of the movie--which ultimately is a flimsy rock 'n roll romantic comedy.
