Like Warwick Thornton's aborigine drama SAMSON & DELILAH, BEAUTIFUL KATE brings the spectacular Australian outback to the fore in sumptuous fashion.
Filmed on location in the arid plains of Flinders Ranges, Ward's (MARTHA'S NEW COAT) film emphasises the isolation of farm life in Australia, which becomes the setting for the awakening of a dark family secret.
Catalytic in this incident is Ned (Mendelsohn, KNOWING), who returns to the family home to bid farewell to his dying father (Brown, AUSTRALIA).
Long-buried memories rise up and haunt Ned as the family dynamic takes on a sinister tone.
Already a record-breaker in Australia, BEAUTIFUL KATE looks set to sweep audiences away with its powerful performances and unapologetically disturbing themes.
