2005 | 113 min. | Director: Rowan Woods | TV-MA-LS
A former drug-addict in her early thirties attempts to put her shady past to rest while paving the way for a brighter future in director Rowan Woods' tale of love, trust, and redemption in modern-day Australia. Tracy Heart (Cate Blanchett) hasn't lived her 32 years so much as she has simply survived them. Ravaged by the drug-addiction and determined to redeem herself in the eyes of her overworked single-mother Janelle (Noni Hazelhurst), Tracy makes a personal vow to open her own business and turn her life around before it's too late and life has passed her by. Tracy's plan is complicated, however, when three men from her past reappear with their own plans for the future. In addition to the troubling re-appearance of her ex-boyfriend Jonny (Dustin Nguyen), her criminal-minded brother Ray (Martin Henderson) seems hell-bent on making a name for himself in the underworld, and the emotional demands of troubled family friend and ex-football star Lionel Dawson (Hugo Weaving) have left the emotionally vulnerable Tracy shaken and confused. When Tracy's modest dreams of a happy life catch the attention of feared criminal kingpin Bradley "The Jockey" Thompson (Sam Neill), she is forced to place her fragile trust in the hands of her skeptical mother and take one last trip into the past to confront her greatest fear.

Bette Davis, Rita Haworth, Joan Crawford, Julie Christie, these are the women that come to mind when thinking of Cate Blanchett. Ms Blanchett's unique style of performing is more than outstandingit is mesmerizing. Her ability to adjust her personal look to fit each character to perfection is remarkable. I have spent the last sixteen months viewing each and everyone of her performances and cannot find a flaw in any of them. Ms. Blanchett was placed in this world to act and she has followed this directon to perfection. She is several steps above all of her peers and it is obvious. If I could spend one hour of my life discusssing the acting craft with just one person it would be Ms. Blanchett. I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank her for the hours of enjoyment she has brought to my life. Thank you Cate!!!!!!
