Time to get into another cinematic continuation of an Aussie
TV show that my overseas readers likely won’t have heard of, and despite me
working on more local ground, I’m about as familiar with the source material as
they are. Aside from vague memories of seeing my nan watching it out of the
corner of my eye, I have no experience with the escapades of 1920s-era
detective Phryne Fisher.
However, over the last few years, I’ve taken definite notice
of lead actor Essie Davis as one of the best Australian actors working today,
between her phenomenal turns in The Babadook and True History Of The Kelly Gang.
As such, familiarity or no familiarity, I knew I wanted to check this out.
