Somersault (2004)

A teenager runs away from home into the Australian mountains and lives through experiences that teach her the nuances of feelings.

"Somersault" is a diaphanous drama, which very subtly shows us different phases and layers of female growing up. With imperfect, even unwanted experiences, mixed with subtle understandings and experiences, Abbie Cornish impresses incredibly in the main part.

Director:  Cate Shortland     
With: Abbie Cornish, Sam Worthington, Lynette Curran, Damian de Montemas

Rating: 8/10
