Full Plot Details

A privileged British family--mother, geologist father, adolescent daughter, small son--live in Sydney, Australia. While on a picnic one day, the sibling get stranded in the Outback by themselves, not knowing exactly where they are. They only have with them the clothes on their backs--their school uniforms--some meagre rations of nonperishable food, a battery-powered transistor radio, the son's satchel primarily containing his toys, and a small piece of cloth they used as their picnic cloth. While they walk through the Outback, they encounter an Australian boy who is on his walkabout, a rite of passage into manhood where he spends entire months on his own living off the land. Their largest problem is not being able to verbally communicate. The boy does help them to survive, but doesn't understand their need to return to civilization, which may or may not happen based on what the Australian boy ends up doing.

Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Ed GonzalezRoeg shoots every figure in the film like an instructional visual subject, and it levels the philosophical playing field—whether man, or ant, or echidna, or gnarled tree stump, they’re all fodder for the experimental interplay of light, shadow, and space.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertWalkabout is a superb work of storytelling and its material is effortlessly fascinating.
Internet Reviews - 10/10 by Steve RhodesIn the day since I've seen the film, I cannot put it out of my mind. Its images continue to be savored, and I will never forget the three travelers through the desert.
Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James Kendrickintensely felt film about the conflicts between civilization and nature, and the tragedy that can result when two people are unable to communicate
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by John PetrakisNicolas Roeg’s art-house adventure is lyrical and intoxicating.
The A.V. Club - 10/10 by Keith PhippsRoeg’s film contrasts Western corruption with native goodness, but it’s naïve by design, and ultimately concerned more with the way all innocence passes than with the politics and particulars of any single part of the world.
Empire - 10/10 by Kim NewmanIt's a deep film, but also elusive, accepting that some mysteries can never be solved.
Paste Magazine - 10/10 by Andy BetaIt’s a commentary on unresolvable conflicts between races, cultures, generations, sexes; a vision that is at once primal and sophisticated. When the film circles back at the coda, we realize we’ve just traversed a brutal—yet flawless—cinematic landscape.
The Guardian - 9/10 by Luke BuckmasterRoeg revels in the hallucinatory, creating a wilderness that exists as much in the mind as it does the land.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 8/10 by Rumsey TaylorWalkabout's obvious concern is the relationship between two parties, separated by centuries of diverting societal behaviors, and thus, differentiated perceptions of sexual roles and etiquette. But what ensues is more ambiguous and interpretative.
