(Tapsell), Gail (Mailman), Julie (Mauboy) and Kay (Sebbens) are

first taste of stardom, and travels them to Vietnam to sing for the
American troops.

The Sapphires (2012) PG-13 An Australian film about four Aboriginal girls who form a singing group and travel to Vietnam to entertain the troops. Chris O’Dowd plays Dave, the man who convinces the girls’ families that they will be safe on the tour that changes all their lives. I saw this film last year at the Austin Film Festival and just loved it. Chris O’Dowd is perfect as the boozy, scamming Dave who sees, at first, the girls as a meal ticket, then actually begins to care for them. The singing in the film is amazing, and the storyline reels you in from the start. My Rating: Full Price
