EVERYTHING IS IN THE COFFEE

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2018)

Connor (Russell Crowe) is an outback farmer and water diviner. He just has the feeling. His three sons go off to fight the Turks during the first World War and never return. His wife's (Jacqueline McKenzie) dying wish was for her sons to be buried back in Australia. Working with few clues, Connor embarks on a trip where he is a hated stranger in a strange land, yet inspires and helps those around him. The opening claims it was "inspired by true events" but is closer to historical fiction. Yes, an Australian did go to Turkey to look for his son's grave and they sent him away.
Connor was able to locate his sons in a country that is "one big grave." Crowe did a good job as an older and more humble man than his usual roles. Model Olga Kurylenko plays the innkeeper who becomes an undeveloped love interest for Crowe. Good Drama with war background.
No swearing, sex, or nudity. Some war scenes. 3 wins at Australian Film Institute awards.
