Dino Chalmers (Christina Ricci), an American living with her Australian fiancé, is a first-time teacher eager to bring her love of Shakespeare to the diverse student population of a rough ‘n tumble school in Sydney’s notorious Block. her attention soon turns to Liam (Hunter Page-Lochard, Bran Nue Dae), an Aboriginal student eager to stay on course despite his family’s criminal ties through Redfern. Both isolated in their own ways, a bond forms between Dino and Liam who are both struggling with issues of identity, race, sexuality, and societal pressures.
"Around the Block" tells a touching story of two underprivileged teenagers in a deprived neighborhood. They got involved in a turmoil that they do not need to be in, and it is up to the drama teacher to do something to help them - by engaging one of the two teenagers to act in a school play. It is an engaging and touching story, especially because it makes you yearn for an ending which is different compared to the one shown. I think the acting by the two teenagers are good, and Christina Ricci made the right choice to star in this gem. She needs to be in good films after a string of not so good ones!
