Angel Baby

EW's GRADE
A

Details With: Jacqueline Mckenzie and John Lynch

Can a pair of love-bird schizophrenics find happiness? Can they make a baby and live happily ever after?

The intimacy of the small screen only intensifies dynamite performances by Jacqueline McKenzie (above, best known for Romper Stomper) and John Lynch (Some Mother's Son). Made before yet in the same cockeyed-optimist vein as that more prominent Aussie import Shine, Angel Baby is an action-adventure of the heart that, though an art-house blip here, swept the 1995 Australian Film Institute awards.
