Mother Mountain
Set on the beautiful NSW south coast, Mother Mountain is about a young, restless mother who moves with her family from the city to an idyllic country property at the base of a mystical and sacred Aboriginal mountain (Gulaga, or "Mother Mountain"), with the hope of starting a new life. Still haunted by a marriage break-up and a strained relationship with her parents, she struggles to find a meaningful connection with her new partner. When her daughter is bullied at the local school, an Indigenous boy comes to her aid and opens her eyes to the magic of the mountain and its bucolic surrounds, while the mother reconnects with her Jewish spirituality for guidance.
Release Date: April 28
Feedback/Comments
Good movie. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Some nice production values
An engrossing movie about the challenges of being a mother in an environment where nothing comes easy.
A touching and sensitive storyline that was reflective of our indigenous and Australian culture. Was greatly timed to watch around Mother's day!
Nicely shot with a good cast.
A strong cast including veteran and emerging Australian and Aboriginal-Australian actors
Wonderful home grown film
