Comments This review credits 'Flirting' with great performances, especially from the film's first time actor; Thandie Newton. The author goes on to quote George Miller who likens Newton's screen test to that of Michelle Pfeiffer and Mel Gibson.
The author perceives 'Flirting' to be a lot more "playful" than 'The Year My Voice Broke', whilst still recognising confronting subject areas such as racism and conformity.
The author includes a quote by George Miller who discusses the nature of sequels and the expectations they have to live up to in eye of the audience.
Synopsis Review and synopsis which contains details of Australian Film Institute Awards won in 1991.
Includes still photograph of Thandie Newton, Kym Wilson and Naomi Watts in 'Flirting'.
