By Kenneth Turan (2,323) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 Jun 2010

Review of Australia (2008)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 29 Apr 2010

Review of Australia (2008)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 26 Feb 2010

Review of Australia (2008)

By Ella Taylor (978) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Sep 2009

By Emily Blunt (210) for Blunt Review (210) on 30 Mar 2009

Here's a film you probably sneered at as its ads played for its mega-plex roll out. I beg you not to let you keep that from now buying the DVD…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Simon Weaving (195) for Screenwize (216) on 25 Mar 2009

It is a huge film - in scale, scope, look and feel, and of course budget. It is also a huge disappointment…

By Brian Webster (658) for Apollo Guide (1,430) on 22 Mar 2009

Sometimes seems to be overwhelmed by Baz Luhrmann's excess, but the strength of his vision, the appeal of his visuals and the skill of his…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Richard Schickel (546) for Time (1,811) on 05 Mar 2009

There is some elemental human desire -- lately largely denied at the cinema -- to see pretty people in handsome landscapes assuaging our need…

By Maitland Mcdonagh (2,150) for Miss FlickChick (73) on 02 Mar 2009

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 20 Feb 2009

Review of Australia (2008)

By David N. Butterworth (570) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 15 Jan 2009

Unashamedly old-fashioned and corny, if not quite up to the director's usual high standards…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (Uk) (87) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 05 Jan 2009

Often beautiful but wildly inconsistent, Australia is none more Baz Luhrmann, which perhaps says it all. Worth a look on the big screen, though…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Nina Caplan (15) for Time Out (7,510) on 05 Jan 2009
