About This Movie

Dallas Doll is a quirky little comedy that really leans into its off-kilter humor. Ann Turner's direction gives it a laid-back vibe, capturing the sun-soaked Sydney suburbs beautifully. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that kind of adds to its charm. The film's central themes revolve around family chaos and personal reinvention, which play out in some pretty clever, albeit messy, ways. Rebecca Gibney as the titular character brings an interesting energy, balancing both the comedic and the more heartfelt moments. And let's not forget the practical effects sprinkled throughout; they add a unique touch that feels oddly nostalgic for early '90s cinema. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but there's something inherently watchable about its strangeness.

Released on VHS and DVD in various regions. · Originally premiered at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. · Shot on location in Sydney, showcasing local architecture. · Features a mix of practical effects and simple gags.
