10/25/2008 [font=Calibri][size=3]I wasn't sure what to expect from “The View from Greenhaven”. It is the first feature length movie from the MacRae brothers. The story revolves around the lives of a aging couple [/size][/font][color=black][font='Arial','sans-serif']Dashiell (Chris Haywood), and his long-suffering wife, Dorothy (Wendy Hughes). Dashiell is a grumpy old man, deeply affected by a tragedy some 32 years ago. With their marriage on the rocks, their daughter buys them tickets on a mystery train tour. What transpires is unexpected, and leads us on a journey as Dorothy discovers the life she could have, and Dashiell, the life he has taken for granted. The film has the perfect balance of humor and discovery. [/font][/color] [color=black][font='Arial','sans-serif'] [/font][/color][color=black][font='Arial','sans-serif']Chris Haywood and Wendy Hughes contribute stunning performances. After seeing the film I learned that Chris and Wendy were once married. Perhaps a little irony with the film characters, but their interaction on-screen is authentic and magic.[/font][/color] [color=black][font='Arial','sans-serif'] [/font][/color][color=black][font='Arial','sans-serif']The MacRae brothers have written a wonderful script and delivered it perfectly to the big screen. The Australian film industry has been lean on quality films in recent years. The view from Greenhaven will not disappoint.[/font][/color] See more Read all reviews
