This film portrayed so well, how a little gossip and stereotyping can explode into hatred. Little known to most even today, is that there was a large cover-up from law enforcement, down to members of the local community, who were aware that a well known local Dingo was responsible for Azaria's death. Yet, many still refuse to accept Lindy Chamberlain's total innocence of her baby's death. The average viewer of this film would be totally sickened by the full revelation of this tragic event.
Meryl Streep's performance, is possibly the best movie portrayal of someone not actually born a native to the country of her character's origin. Her Australian accent is delivered to perfection. Very much worthy of the 8th Academy Award nomination she received. A strong argument for religious tolerance, and keeping cool heads till all the facts are in. And a great edition to any DVD collection, though some strong language for what essentially is a faith-based film may discourage some from viewing.
The film's now well known line, "the Dingo took my baby" would not have the least hint of humor if heard in its true context. Watch the movie and you'll see what I mean.
A CRY IN THE DARK offers fine insight on this somewhat unusual Australian family's "Adventists" belief and an inevitable media frenzy that does not just display its quick to judge, false misrepresentations in "The States".
This is a solid movie with fine performances by Meryll Streep (her 8th(!) Oscar namination) and Sam Neill as the spouses whose baby is taken from a tent during a "communal" type religious outing.
And those famous words that became a comic-tag-line by Elaine (Julia Louis Dreyfuss) in the Seinfeld tv episode: "The dingo took my ba-bay." Yes, from this movie.
But, watching the terror in a mother's eyes, slowly realizing what has just happened -- it is still kind of difficult to watch; and certainly something no parent would want to dwell on ... until the accusations arise. Again, truly an infuriating true story of how people are so quick to judge and condemn those who are "a little different."
A CRY IN THE DARK was, certainly, worth seeing again. Originally released in 1988. Widescreen is the way to see this well made Fred Schepisi almost a classic.
Now, could we just get a widescreen Barbarosa release.?!

I always felt her innocence she was a beloved planned baby why would thay take her away to a public campsite and kill her
it just doesnt make sense.
What i would realy like to know is was there anyone at Ayres rock that night that arrived without a baby and left with Azaria
it might sound unlikely but i find it hard to believe a dingo could eat Azaria and leave no trace at all.!
