Comments Quite a balanced review of "Puberty Blues" given here. It looks at the film through a variety of production stages from the script adaptation to the films contemporary response.

I found it quite useful to gain an overall understanding of the film's cultural context at it's time of release .
Synopsis After introducing the authors of the book the film was based around, this review goes on to discuss the films incorporation of ethnographical concerns (observational film aesthetics) and critiques the actor's performances.

The author alligns the film with "Gallipoli" and "Mad Max" in terms of it's 'bursting audience impact.'

A ver comprehensive read!
