About this movie

Adapted from Craig Silvey's bestselling Australian novel and featuring a stellar cast including Toni Collette, Hugo Weaving, Levi Miller, Angourie Rice, Dan Wyllie and Aaron McGrath, Jasper Jones is the story of Charlie Bucktin, a bookish boy of 14 living in a small town in Western Australia. In the dead of night during the scorching summer of 1969, Charlie is startled when he is woken by local mixed-race outcast Jasper Jones outside his window. Jasper leads him deep into the forest and shows him something that will change his life forever, setting them both on a dangerous journey to solve a mystery that will consume the entire community. In an isolated town where secrecy, gossip and tragedy overwhelm the landscape, Charlie faces family breakdown, finds his first love, and discovers what it means be truly courageous. 2016 Bucktin Holdings Pty Ltd, Ginger Cookies Pty Ltd, Nude Run Pty Ltd, Screen West Inc, Screen NSW and Screen Australia.

Very amazing and well done movie. Iconic. Normally I am not one for amazing pieces (I'm more of a Fifty Shades/trashy-love/comedy/rom-com-story-on-a-friday-night kinda person) but this was incredible. These kids are such good actors and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Such a simple concept yet such an adventure to watch. Highly recommend to anyone of any age.

I love Australian movies and this one did not disappoint. Great cast, good story (I have not read the book) and good message regarding racism,.and . . . . (deleted as this would be a spoiler).

One of the better Australian films for a long time. Most over the last few years have been hopeless 😀
