Film Review: PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK

What they wore to school in 1900 in Australia.

Quite possibly the absolute worst movie I have ever slept through, Picnic At Hanging Rock defies further description other than the words I just wrote, except that the music is so horrible you've got to keep the sound down low. Or better yet, just shut the damn thing off. There is no reason at all to see it, yet it has been named the best film of all time in Australia where it was made by director Peter Weir and released in 1975, winning all sorts of awards at the time. 

Australia is now off my bucket list.
