In The Dressmaker, Kate Winslet stars as fancy couturier Myrtle “Tilly†Dunnage, who returns to her childhood home in the Australian country to care for her ailing mother, played by Judy Davis. She left after people thought she had killed a young boy, and is back to seek revenge on her accusers, while also performing some She’s All That magic on the townspeople. Based on the book of the same title by Rosalie Ham, writer and director Jocelyn Moorhouse has described the film as “Unforgiven with a sewing machine.†She forgot to include Liam Hemsworth’s abs, which Kate Winslet is definitely here for.
The Dressmaker comes to theaters October 22.
