Goode’s co-workers Patty, Lisa and Fay.
It doesn’t take long for Lisa to realise the shortcomings of her suburban upbringing.
Newcomer Angourie is magnetic as doe-eyed Lisa, while Rachael Taylor and Alison McGirr steal the show as Lisa’s mischievous co-workers, Fay and Patty respectively .
Also keep an eye out for Shane Jacobson, Susie Porter, Ryan Corr and Noni Hazlehurst, who round out the impressive homegrown line-up.

Behind the camera, Ladies In Black marks a long-awaited return for Oscar-nominated director Bruce Beresford, who is helming his first Aussie film in a decade.
Funny, charming and full of heart, the flick is sure to charm.
