Based on a true story, “The Sapphires” shows us the early career of Australia’s first all-Aborigine girl group and offers up a tasty sampling of 1960s soul music.
As the newsreel clips at the start of the movie inform us, the year is 1968. When we first see these two sisters and their cousin performing, they’re covering a country western song at a small-town talent show near the reservation where they live. As fate would have it, the MC is a displaced, down-on-his luck Irishman named Dave (Chris O’Dowd, of “Bridesmaids” and “Pirate Radio”), who picks up on the girls’ obvious talent and signs on as their manager.
