Movie Reviews

The Australian - 8/10 by David StrattonVan Diemen's Land poses a formidable challenge for audiences, but it's a challenge well worth meeting and a film you're unlikely ever to forget.
sbs.com.au - 8/10 by Simon FosterThe Tasmanian landscape (and its stand-in Victorian equivalent) is a sight to behold in the 2:35 ratio. As the backdrop for acts of pure barbarism, it is a grey, horribly-beautiful vision of Hell.
MovieTime, ABC Radio National - 7/10 by Jason Di RossoThere's no doubting the premise held great high-concept horror possibilities, but the end result is surprisingly bloodless despite some close-range gore.
Electric Sheep - 6/10 by David CairnsIn its evocation of a bleak, hostile environment in which even the meanest cannot eke out an existence, it packs a bloody punch.
Courier Mail (Australia) - 5/10 by Colin NewtonThe film is at times tasteless and unpalatable but the screenplay, based on four confessions Pearce gave after his capture, has a certain level of interest to it.
User Review - 10/10 by Ty PThis is the first Australian movie I've ever seen and its a very well made film and its filmed in the lovely land of Tasmania. the movie is kind of slow but non the less its one that i think some might enjoy and its another reason why i love foreign films so please check it out and tell me what you think of it
User Review - 10/10 by Julien BMême rigueur dans la réalisation minimaliste que "Valhalla rising" ou "Aguirre". Quête mystique pour ce bagnard irlandais affamé.
User Review - 10/10 by Matthew SVery slow and so naturalistic that it is almost devoid of the normal structure and nauances that you expect from a film. But that is exactly what makes this directoral debut so amazing to watch. The cast are really stretched to their limits in this uncompromising adaptation of a true story. Hard viewing, but well worth it - and one that I think will improve when seen again. Superb!
User Review - 10/10 by Byron BMany quite minutes in this movie, but I loved that. It left you feeling sick and thinking of the humankind a bit longer and that was needed, believe me. LOVED that they made a movie about Pearce.
User Review - 10/10 by Tom GAmong the best films I've ever seen. Herzogian as well.
