Plot
Based on the best-selling novel by Tim Winton, Blueback is a timely tale about the ocean, a beautiful marine creature, and a young girl’s power to change the world.
Sinekatalog’s take
A young girl's bond with a great blue fish shapes her lifelong love of the sea and her fight to protect it. Based on a novel, the family drama is gentle and visually lovely. Good for children and nature lovers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
