Three Dollars
Review by David Stratton
Eddie, who at the age of 38 finds himself with a wife, a childhood sweetheart and three dollars to his name and is faced with a choice that will change the direction of his life forever.
THREE DOLLARS is the latest film from Australian director Robert Connolly who brought us THE BANK.
He’s working again with David Wenham who plays Eddie a man in his late 30’s who works in a government office responsible for assessing land earmarked for development.
One day he loses his job and is escorted from the building. He recalls that every 9 ½years he has crossed paths with Amanda, once the little girl next door he used to play with.
Eddie is married to the lovely and brilliant Tanya, (Frances O'Connor), and they have a delightful daughter, Abby, (Johanna Hunt-Prokhovnic).
Eddie remembers how he met Tanya and how, despite their love for one another, they've made compromises over the years.
Eddie also remembers the occasions he met Amanda, (Sarah Wynter), whose father is the rich developer whose land he has been assessing.
At last, a quality Australian film to offset the recent drought! THREE DOLLARS is an adaptation by director Robert Connolly and author Elliot Perlman of Perlman's successful novel and it's a character-driven piece made with intelligence and wit.
Eddie is an unfailingly decent and kind man, but often a rather ineffectual and indecisive one; the women in his life, Tanya, Amanda, even his daughter, Abby, have it all over him; and yet you really like Eddie, thanks to David Wenham's typically fine performance.
The film is about the small things in life which add up to become big things, like The Beatles said, ‘Life's what happens when you're busy making other plan’s, and that's Eddie's problem.
The film is a brutal reminder of how close to the financial edge many Australians are living in these unhealthy times, and how the resulting stress compromises youthful idealism.
This is a fine local production and the family scenes are especially good, thanks in no small part to a terrific performance from young Johanna Hunt-Prokhovnic, who is clearly a natural.
Like real life, THREE DOLLARS is sometimes funny, something scary, sometimes sad, sometimes hopeful - and I hope the film finds the audience it deserves.
If I can not be sure on the question then how can you be sure of the answer

3 one dollar coins, or 3 dollars is just an amount of money.
It can be 3 dollars in currency, 3 dollars worth of gold, etc.
3 dollars in shares. etc.
