Synopsis

Watch: Sweetie 1989 123movies, Full Movie Online – Based solely on a tea leaf reading, superstitious and introspective Kay believes she and Louis are destined to fall in love with each other, he who she is able to convince of the same despite he just having gotten engaged to her co-worker, Cheryl. That destiny may change with the fortunes of what she sees as the next symbol of their relationship, a somewhat sickly elder tree Louis plants in their garden for their one year anniversary. Their relationship is placed under a strain with the arrival of Kay’s formerly institutionalized sister Dawn – nicknamed Sweetie – and Sweetie’s current boyfriend, Bob, who Sweetie believes will help her get into show business. Kay’s pleas to her father Gordon to help get Sweetie out of her house go largely ignored, as he has never judged Sweetie, who he still sees as his performing loving little girl. Gordon is facing his own issues as Kay and Sweetie’s mother, Flo, has just left him on a trial separation, their issues largely stemming from his protecting Sweetie at all cost, Sweetie who had most recently been living with them..
Plot: An introspective young woman’s life is upturned by the arrival of her maladjusted sister.

Reviews:


I dislike this film so much. Mental illness is portrayed absolutely horribly in it. None of the characters are likeable whatsoever. A waste of time that I would recommend to no one unless you want to be very annoyed.
Review By: missmiserys

When it starts off with the eccentric and shy Kay (Karen Colston) falling in love with the handsome Louis (Tom Lycos), Jane Campion’s 1988 film SWEETIE promises a romantic comedy. When Kay’s mentally ill sister Dawn (Genevieve Lemon) drops in, the film develops in a very different direction. Some element of comedy, very black humour, remains but overall the film is a family tragedy.

The tragedy is that this disturbed young woman nicknamed “Sweetie” is simultaneously a victim of her own illness and an unwilling aggressor against her family, who feign love and acceptance but clearly would like to do without her. The strongest aspect of the film is Lemon’s performance, one of the best screen portrayals of mental illness since Bergman’s IN A GLASS DARKLY. Something I appreciate more on repeat viewing is that the background to this family drama is left ambiguous. That said, I would not list “Sweetie” among my favourite films: it is overall well-made and memorable but not quite at the level of effusive praise.

Campion’s Brilliant Direction Works Again
This film is one of the best films ever written and shot about the effects of mental illness on the psycho-dynamics of a family. Shot with a strongly claustrophobic sense of misé-en-scene, the extended family of Louis, Mom, Dad, Kay and Sweetie always crowd and clutter the frame, unable to extricate themselves physically and emotionally from one another. Geneviève Lemon’s performance of a mentally ill young women (Sweetie/Dawn) sends chills up the spine of anyone who has worked with those who suffer like this. Although it does contain some nudity and slight sexual content, the dramatic push of the film as a whole makes this an extremely moving film even for teenagers, especially for families who are coping with mental illness. Campion’s writing and above all her directing soars in this profound and compelling film.

Whada bunch of crap!
I can’t believe I sat through this whole stupid flick. “Sweetie” takes a long, sober, and plaintive look at the dregs of a splintered Aussie family with two adult daughters one of which is a brittle, simple-minded fat woman, the title character (Lemon). An uneventful, plodding, and peculiar story and Campion brain fart, “Sweetie” offers little save peculiar heaped on peculiar ad nauseam. Terminally boring and not recommendable.
