Leave your thoughts about Bran Nue Dae.
| Arizona RepublicRichard NilsenAn infectiously joyful Australian Aboriginal musical. |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoBran Nue Dae is so spectacularly cheerful and effervescent it has successfully wrestled my practical criticisms and deemed them irrelevant. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceIt's a bit corny and reminiscent of Baz Luhrmann or Julie Taymor's pop fantasies, but we can forgive her. |
| Empire Magazine AustralasiaRod YatesA refreshing entry into the recent canon of Australian films, Bran Nue Dae recalls the innocent, playful tone of classics such as Muriel's Wedding and The Castle and, as such, deserves to be the summer smash of 2010. |
| Courier Mail (Australia)Des PartridgeYou should leave your cinema seat wearing a broad smile after this fun-filled experience, officially the first Aussiewood musical. |
| Sunday Mail (Australia)Colin NewtonBran Nue Dae, much like the Bible, wraps up with a good many revelations, and offers the viewer a fun, upbeat and feel-good movie-going experience. Hallelujah! |
| The AustralianLynden BarberThe next time someone tells you that "all Australian films are depressing", point them in Bran Nue Dae's direction. |
| smh.com.auGiles HardieIf you dare to like happy films, this Bran Nue Dae is just for you. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn invigorating, campy and high-spirited journey well worth taking. It's one of the most delightful, heartfelt and crowd-pleasing musical comedies in years. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiYou'll either be charmed by the caricature or think it more suitable for Looney Tunes. |
