Slight, retiring, wallflowery movie with a stout, commanding, towering performance by Judy Davis as a hard-drinking, bottom-rung "entertainer" who must confront the daughter she long ago abandoned. Some nice tacky atmosphere, though an air of bookishness too (short-novel-ishness, to be more exact). Directed by Gillian Armstrong, who provided the same service for Davis's star-making part in My Brilliant Career. (1987) — Duncan Shepherd
