Beautiful Kate received a lot of praise at the Sydney Film Festival, but although the film looked good, with impressive cinematography, it lacked depth in its character exploration and tackling of its subject matter. Director Rachel Ward described the film at it premiere in Sydney as 'a love story with obstacles'. I found this an odd statement, it is not what I got from the film, and wouldn't be what I was looking for in a film dealing with incest. I believe the intentions for the film were good and the cast all gave solid performances, however many good actors were woefully underutilised. My expectations for this film were so high, they were bound to be disappointed.
