Cynthia (Tapsell), Gail (Mailman), Julie (Mauboy) and Kay (Sebbens) are discovered by Dave (O'Dowd), a good-humored talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music. As their manager, Dave books the sisters their first true gig giving them their first taste of stardom, and travels them to Vietnam to sing for the American troops.

Review For The Sapphires
Though the production is unpolished, the music is great and Chris O'Dowd is delightfully droll as the group's boozy manager. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal At certain moments, the film feels pretty manipulative, but you know why manipulation is popular? Because it is effective. Linda Holmes-NPR Soul music's alleged redemptive powers are fully at work in this jumbled, sketchily written but vastly appealing true-life musical comedy. Guy Lodge-Variety A jewel-bright charmer about four spunky indigenous women whose powerhouse voices catapulted them onto the 60s-era world stage as Australia's answer to the Supremes. Megan Lehmann-Hollywood Reporter Singin', swingin' and sparkly, it's a sentimental, feel-good crowd-pleaser. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate A well-deserved tribute to four Aussie lassies who risked their lives to entertain the boys. Kam Williams-AALBC.com A musical feature about a worthy if little-known subject that's enjoyable, despite manipulative tone and conventional nature. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com The movie unfolds in the uplifting manner you'd expect, but its real pleasures lie in its terrific '60s pop-soul soundtrack and especially in its frequently funny performances. Mike Russell-Oregonian A fully realized and layered story that delivers both humor and compassion, fantastic music that truly takes you back to that point in time, and an unforgettable performance from O'Dowd. Allison Loring-Film School Rejects An energetic, amusing and resolutely feel-good-film-with-a-message, 1960s music movie The Sapphires ticks all of the right boxes to click with audiences as well as being a smart advert for Aussie girl power. Mark Adams-Screen International The film might veer towards the predictably sentimental, but it has a fizzing energy that is hard either to deny or dislike. Jenny McCartney-Daily Telegraph There's enough gaiety and whirlwind plotting to sustain an upbeat attitude about the whole endeavor, even when director Wayne Blair seems utterly determined to exit the effort on a sour note. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Likable... Philip French-Observer [UK] We've all got used to international co-productions over the years, but The Sapphires surely breaks new ground by mixing Vietnam and Australia with Irish and Aboriginal characters. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail The Sapphires is certainly at home to corn, and the limited budget shows through at its tattered edges. But it should do wonders for those still suffering from Mamma Mia! withdrawals. Donald Clarke-Irish Times Shamelessly crowd-pleasing, this warmly engaging film is based on a remarkable true story. And since it's topped off by Chris O'Dowd's most engaging performance yet (which is saying a lot), resistance is futile. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com It may not be hugely original, but this is a pleasant watch with charm to spare. Alex Zane-Sun Online It makes its point with a warm heart and authentic playing, even if there's also a certain amount of cheesiness. Derek Malcolm-This is London There are a few wobbles in the script, but O'Dowd's feckless charmer holds things together and he finds a sparky match in Mailman's strong-willed Gail. Jason Best-Movie Talk If you're in the mood for a sentimental feel-good movie with affection for its music and characters, The Sapphires offers solid entertainment. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] It's too naive, and most of the vocal dubbing is weirdly, distancingly poor. Antonia Quirke-Financial Times Fluffy, infectious fun. Adam Woodward-Little White Lies At heart an empowerment story, the picture deftly but lightly weaves in the politics around the personal as the girls find their voices while falling in love and trying to steer clear of danger. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
