Jasper Jones is a coming of age mystery / thriller about what it really means to be courageous.
Starring Toni Collettte, Hugo Weaving, Levi Miller and Angourie Rice, a 14 year old boy embarks on a journey to find the true killer of a young local girl and prove his friend’s innocence…
Directed by Rachel Perkins, Jasper Jones is based on the best selling Novel by Craig Silvey. I’m intrigued because it looks good and rightly or wrongly, this trailer kind of reminds me of To Kill A Mockingbird (1962).
Aaron L. McGrath and Matt Nable also star
Jasper Jones Release Dates: 2017 (AUS)…

I quite enjoyed the film, and was happy to support it at the box office given it’s Australian and with a female director. I do think that there are so many themes and ideas going on here that the narrative does feel a bit overwhelmed.
