The CinePearl Take

The Devil's Playground is a 1970s English film that blends biographical, drama and coming-of-age — expect a real life brought to the screen and character-driven, emotional storytelling. Fred Schepisi directs and the script comes from Fred Schepisi. With 9 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in Australia, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1976, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 107 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
