Movie Reviews

Flicks.com.au - 10/10 by Blake HowardWarwick Thornton's outback morality tale, Sweet Country, combines exquisite visuals of Australian landscapes with a script that dabbles as much in mythical justice as deeply specific ideas of what this country is made of.
Urban Cinefile - 10/10 by Andrew L. UrbanIt is, on any analysis, a simple story that is elevated by the way it is told...Although I can't say the film carried me away, I appreciate the sincerity and dedication of the filmmaking team
Variety - 10/10 by Guy LodgeThe spare, classical chase drama that ensues is seeded with barbed observations on colonialism, cultural erasure and rough justice, kept poetically succinct by Thornton’s lithe, soaring visual storytelling.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Kate TaylorThe story is both fresh and archetypal; the landscape both hard and delicate – and beautifully observed. Memories and premonitions are intriguingly inserted into the action and the performances...are note perfect.
The Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawThis is fiercely powerful storytelling, simple and muscular in one way, but also conveying nuance and sophistication in its depiction of character.
The Telegraph - 10/10 by Robbie CollinSweet Country is tough, spare and lyrical right down to the bone.... It is also a work of moral conscience that rules out easy answers, with acridly funny moments of black comedy and a sense of awesome natural spectacle that is inseparable from its dramatic impact. It has a power that makes the cinema shake.
Film Inquiry - 10/10 by David FontanaWith poignancy, grit, and proficiency, it gazes out at the vast Australian outback while also deeply examining the darkness of humanity within.
Sight and Sound - 10/10 by Jason AndersonSweet Country's complexity and sophistication mark it as a landmark work of Indigenous cinema.
Little White Lies - 10/10 by Aimee KnightA painfully real portrait of racism in Australia.
Herald Sun (Australia) - 10/10 by Leigh PaatschThe superb new Australian drama Sweet Country does not so much open as immediately close in all around you.
