"For those of us willing to be challenged and excited, BLESSED is another really fine Australian film in this anna mirabilis. ... it’s a searingly honest portrait of that most primal relationship – mothers and children," was part of ABC's At the Movies reviewer David Stratton's take on the movie that the Magnetic Island Film Society will be screening this Saturday night at 8pm at the All Seasons Resort in Mandalay Ave, Nelly Bay

David and Margaret went on to discuss the movie (click here) and gave it four and a half and four stars respectively.
