'Craig Silvey’s well-regarded novel Jasper Jones has frequently been compared with To Kill a Mockingbird because of its depiction of simmering racism in a small town. It’s a comparison that really isn’t fair to Silvey because it raises expectations that can hardly be fulfilled. The same goes for Rachel Perkins’s beautifully made film version: if you go to see it expecting the same impact made by Robert Mulligan’s memorable 1962 version of Harper Lee’s book, you’ll probably come away disappointed; but if you go with an open mind, you should be amply rewarded.'
