The New Boy (2023). 1h 56m

“Cate Blanchet creates a brilliant portrayal of an altruistic nun who runs an outback orphanage. She appears without any make-up which gives great authenticity to her idiosyncratic and often humorous nun character. Her spirituality is contrasted with the preternatural spirituality of a very young indigenous boy. This creates a fascinating theme about the philosophy of spirituality. It also puts Aussie cinema back on track and away from the recent interminable very poor u0026quot;Aussie horroru0026quot; which has destroyed all international respect for Australian films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe New Boy is actually about an important and highly captivating theme. It also allows us to view recent history through a new lens by touching upon many associated themes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI will never forget the poignant theme of a young boy leaving the orphanage.”
