Dhanya B. @subway Dec 28 Production: 8/10 - Promising setting, cast, and concept - Historical context/cultural aspects were accurate and relevant Plot: 3/10 - Scattered between too many genres, hard to follow - Whole movie was predictable and cliche besides cultural aspects Cinema: 2/10 - Felt nothing throughout movie - Didn't get attached to any characters - Deaths/near-death events were random and unnecessary Memorability: 3/10 - No lasting scenes - Storyline dragged; around the second half of the movie, could feel every minute passing - Ending was completely expected, did not leave a lasting feeling Do not recommend See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 25 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Crawford A Jun 4 Australia is a cinematic monsoon—ravishing, overripe, and roaring with old-school Hollywood ambition, as if David Lean had fallen into a didgeridoo. Luhrmann orchestrates it all with fevered devotion: burning skies, galloping cattle, crashing bombs, and romance so ripe it practically perspires. Nicole Kidman floats between farce and feeling with the grace of a porcelain tornado, while Hugh Jackman smolders like a campfire in human form. The film’s sheer scale—both visual and emotional—is breathtaking, perhaps even too much for delicate constitutions or minimalists with weak knees. But for the rest of us, it's a dazzling fever dream of nation-building and love, painted on the largest canvas since Gone with the Wind dared to blow.

See more Cindy E 01/19/2025 I honestly never want to know the people who did not like this film. With such a glitch, we would have nothing in common! I absolutely LOVED this movie! Beautiful cinematography on location in Australia, great cast, lots of chemistry… An exciting story where the bad guys get theirs in the end. Maybe that's not what "critics" like, but that's what I like! I've watched it several times now because I own it, of course. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic 08/09/2024 An absolute underrated hidden gem of a film. If ypur looking for an old scholl Gone with the Wind type of film this is it. Its overly long, cheesy, corny type of romantic movie that they just don't make anymore. See more Annie R 07/20/2024 Oh dear. I thought that with this classy cast and wonderful cinematography I was in for an epic movie. It’s 2.5 hours of my life I’ll never get back. See more Read all reviews
