Leave your thoughts about Mystery Road.
| The Daily Review/CrikeyLuke BuckmasterOblique in its intent and without the complexities of an investigatory film along the architectural lines of Roman Polanski's Chinatown, Mystery Road broods and simmers. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakI won’t lie and say Mystery Road kept me on the edge of my seat for its duration, but there is a lot to enjoy in its delicately peeled back layers. |
| Little White LiesAnton BitelThis sand-blasted Aussie murder mystery tinkers with genre convention while managing to remain sincere and thrilling. |
| The Film StageGiovanni Marchini CamiaAn extraordinarily rich, initially exasperating, yet eventually marvelous postmodern epic. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinThe whole thing might have been improved by slightly nippier pacing, but the slow-burn action pays off with a spectacular climactic gun-fight, where the distances are so vast it takes half a second for bullets to find their marks. |
| The ListAllan HunterMeasured and sparing in its use of dialogue and music, Mystery Road remains strikingly atmospheric and expertly controlled as Sen builds a sense of quietly escalating tension. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyDeliberately paced and expertly acted by a weathered ensemble including Hugo Weaving, Mystery Road also boasts some of cinema’s most gorgeous magic-hour photography even if, elsewhere, light is in perilously short supply. |
| Concrete PlaygroundLauren Carroll HarrisA new classic with a rich tide of ideas unraveling and washing around the edges...no easy explanations, no Hollywood signposts, just a genre piece of great complexity and troubling beauty. An important film, a stunningly entertaining one, and a great one. |
| The Sunday AgeCraig MathiesonA deeply satisfying and slow-burning modern-day western set in outback New South Wales, Ivan Sen's outstanding film Mystery Road bridges the current divide in Australian cinema with a prominent and precise work. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeSen (who also shoots, scores and edits) goes walkabout through the minefield of contemporary Australian culture, offering an evocative snapshot of an unravelling crime scene - social, racial and economic. |
