DECEMBER BOYS is a shapely tiny Australian film based on the unique by Michael Noonan (to whom the film is dedicated), adapted for the cloak by Marc Rosenberg, and directed by Rod Hardy, and while the sage takes plot in the 1960s, it remains warmly contemporary in its message. And for once it presents the estimable side of orphanages, rather than the Dickens plan.

In the Australian outback there is an orphanage accelerate by nuns, a area in the dry country where the arid landscape flattens everything until an occasional storm provides temporary lakes for fishing and playing. Four young lads are bonded not only by the fact that they are orphans dues to various sunless reasons, but they all have birthdays in December - Maps (Daniel Radcliffe), Misty (Lee Cormie, Sparks (Christian Byers), and Spit (James Fraser. Fearing for retribution for their smoking and other tranquil infractions at the orphanage they are called into the headmaster’s office where they survey that a benefactor has decided to give the orphan boys a holiday each year. The four lads are to expend time with a family at a miniature ocean cove setting. Blissful, they are off to meet their family - Bandy (Jack Thompson) and his wife Skipper (Kris McQuade) - who live in a little shack beside a few other neighbors. The world seems to have opened to the boys and each finds first time joy in living - fishing from neighbor Shellback’s (Ralph Cotterill) mature boat, riding a motorcycle with neighbor Audacious (Sullivan Stapleton), spying on the nude bathing wife of Valorous, Theresa (Victoria Hill), and finding first adore with the young, seductive Lucy (Teresa Palmer) . The boys are in heaven until Misty overhears Valiant and Theresa bemoaning their childless marriage and idea to adopt on of the boys. Challenges occur in physical, emotional, and spiritual ways: who will be the chosen ’son’? The manner in which the reply is decided opens a whole unique meaning to the plan of family.
The cast is ingratiating and the settings and the music are handsome. The supporting cast of nuns and priest (Frank Gallacher, Judi Farr, Carmel Johnson) are particularly attractive. The screenplay fails to fully investigate the motivations of all of the characters and there remain holes in the station line that could have easily been remedied: symbolism in the make of a wild stallion, a large fish named Henry, and surreal appearances of the Virgin Mary become a bit obscure. But despite these flaws (and an ending, or epilogue, that is pure corny Hollywood), DECEMBER BOYS is heartwarming and a sparkling movie for the entire family. Recommended. Grady Harp, December 07

Poorly promoted as “Harry Potter’s rupture out film”, December Boys was a pleasing film to glimpse, its yarn dim and compelling. Anyone with an affection for the beauty that is Kangaroo Island will delight in the magnificent scenery in the film. I have not read the book, and apparently the chronicle in the film is a radical departure from its source literature. The setting is the 1960s Oz Outback, an orphanage housing 4 boys ranging in age from 9-16, all of whom were born in the month of December (though they don’t know their birth dates) . When a special donation is made to the orphanage, all 4 boys are taken on their first excursion to the sea, where the rumor awaits that one of them will be adopted by a family there. Having been best friends all their lives, the boys employ the summer competing for the family’s affection. The clear pressure of being scrutinized and inevitably separated so that one of them can acquire a family is hard to peek. The added experiences of the change in environment and meeting unusual people lightens the mood, though bring current hardships, as well. The tale is the memory of one of the younger boys, Misty. I enjoyed the interjections of Misty’s young lucid mind having shaped his interpretation of events without the adult clarity to fully process them. Along that vein I loved how it wasn’t always evident how Misty’s imagination was interpreting events, as the film blurred irregular surrealistic visuals.
All said this film was an reliable next go for an emerging child-to-adult actor. Radcliffe did well in it. He does restrained emotion very well, which allows viewers to be interested in the sage but preserve an emotional detachment from its progress. In that respect, the film isn’t over dramatized. It accomplishes allowing viewers to identify with each of the boys without being sentimental, which I contemplate shows the craft of the writing and direction more than any other facet of the film. It’s clearly a very dusky and traumatic time, in the adult mind watching it. But for the young ones living it it’s unprejudiced… life, a time that when processed later as adults, they realized how pivotal it was.
I must say that I was not impressed with the portrayal of the femme fatale character in the film, who was the appreciate interest of the eldest boy, Maps. The chronicle gave no indication for [i]why[/i] she behaved as she did. I felt that share of the account needed to be told in order for me to have any sympathy for her. There was an air of things not being quite upright in her personal life, but without it being rooted more firmly and evidently into the main arc of Maps, she objective came across two-dimensional.
No, it’s not a blockbuster, and I spy now why it was never promoted as such. It is what it is–an indie film whose subtle artfulness would go the wayside for many mainstream audiences. I was, however, struck by the fact that a lot of people who would otherwise collect Radcliffe to be narrow in his skills will not peruse this film; thus, it will lift him even longer to rupture out of that HP type to which the general public and industry holds him.
