Review of The Rover (2014) by Olive C — 24 Jun 2014
This movie impressed and shocked me equally in a positive way. Humanity and empathy seem to have been evaporated from the near future Australia that's been shown to us (scarily in not so unrealistic way) but the story of both lead roles Eric and Rey into which the viewer is just thrown in without knowing anything about them develops into something hopeful throughout the movie.
All is not lost! Shocking, violent and intense and even though Eric is all of this, the simple-minded Rey finds a connection to him.The movie stayed very much with me and leaves the viewer behind having to think for himself about what the world and the people in it turned into.
Superb performances from both Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson!! I can only recommend it very much, scenery and music play a part of their own into this beautifully shot precious piece of filmmaking! Thank you David Michod!
