| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsOne of the few Australian films selected for Competition at Cannes (1986), Bruce Beresford's adaptation of the novel is a milestone for Australian cinema. |
| User ReviewThomas OGreat film about identity and alienation. Good film for young teens to sink their teeth into. Different notions about race, family. |
| User Reviewadrienne kGreat movie about the struggle of the Andigenous people of Australia. Tribly story is riveting!!! Surprise ending!!! |
| User ReviewGavin PNot a bad snapshot of mid-80s Australia. Hopefully, in terms of racial stereotypes and profiling, a lot has changed since then. I feel like a lot more could have happened or been said with this film, but the point about breaking old patterns applies to all walks of life, not just the Outback/Indigenous people... Some nice scenes & acting, but overall not too memorable. |
| User ReviewMorpheus OYes, there are life styles differences in Australia. |
| User ReviewKim BThe accents were really thick, not to mention the audio blew. However, what I could understand was really inciteful and smart. |
