THE GETTING OF WISDOM (1977) dir. Bruce Beresford Laura Tweedle Rambotham is an intelligent, wilful, eccentric and strong-willed girl country girl despatched to an exclusive Melbourne boarding school. She finds it difficult to conform to the stuffy, repressive attitudes and manners of the establishment, required of girls as they train to become genteel ladies under instruction from the Reverend Strachey, Mrs Gurley, Miss Chapman, and Miss Zielinski. In her second year, Laura invents a secret romance between herself and the school's young minister Reverend Shepherd to gain the admiration of her peers. Then she forms a passion for a sophisticated older girl named Evelyn, sharing a love of music with her. (link in title)

Crimes of the Heart (1986). Three southern sisters try to come to grips with the meaning of their mother's suicide.

Any movie starring Jessica Lange, Sissy Spacek and Diane Keaton as sisters is automatically a 10/10 in my heart! Unfortunately, it's otherwise a bit of a mess. It feels overly convoluted, and while it's focus on the way grief can shape a life is a compelling throughline, it's not as sharply felt as I wish it was in this. 6/10.
