New Zealand Herald
It's a joyous affair that's distinguished by its music, and by the buoyant spirit of its stars. They are four wonderful singers...
Wall Street Journal
The real star is cinematographer Warwick Thornton, whose vibrant color palette sets the desired storybook mood.

Rating: 4/5 --
The clichés are rendered painless by excellent performances from the five principles, with O'Dowd and Mailman particularly standing out.

You could drive an Abrams tank through the film's plot holes, but you'll likely be too busy enjoying yourself to bother.

Globe and Mail
This feelgood flick will almost certainly be an international hit and it is undeniably uplifting, the joyousness of soul music smoothing out the odd shifts in tone that arise as a result of the strange genre conflict.

The harmonies they strike in this reality-inspired charmer are sweetly sublime.

Product Description:
Inspired by a true story, director Wayne Blair's debut feature THE SAPPHIRES follows four Aboriginal Australian girls as they are transformed into a soulful singing group by a kindhearted musician, and later travel to Vietnam to entertain battle-weary U.S. troops. Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy) and Kay (Shari Sebbens) are four singers with lots of passion, but precious little talent. Recognizing something special in the way the girls perform, soulful talent scout Dave (Chris O'Dowd) offers to shape them into a Motown-inspired soul group and get them out on the road. But when their first gig turns out to be on the front lines of Vietnam -- where death has become part of the daily routine -- the ambitious young singers realize they've got their work cut out for them.
