The Year My Voice Broke ★★★ 1987 (PG-13)

Above-average adolescent drama: a girl breaks a boy's heart by getting pregnant by a tougher, older boy, then leaves town. Blues-inducing, explicit, and not pleasant, but good acting from newcomers carries the day. Followed by “Flirting.” 103m/C VHS, DVD . AU Noah Taylor, Leone Carmen, Ben Mendelsohn, Graeme Blundell, Lynette Curran, Malcolm Robertson, Judi Farr, Bruce Spence; D: John Duigan; W: John Duigan; C: Geoff Burton; M: Christine Woodruff. Australian Film Inst. ‘87: Film.
