Review of Australia (2008)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 26 Nov 2008

A moviemaker as creative as [Baz] Luhrmann should make more movies. If nothing else, Australia proves he needs the practice…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Kurt Loder (858) for MTV (492) on 26 Nov 2008

Its story is such a fusty melange of Western-movie cliches that we might as well be camped out in the old cowpoke canyons of Utah, listening…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Brett Mccracken (54) for Christianity Today (953) on 26 Nov 2008

It's an ode to a place (exotic to some, familiar to others), yes, but more than that, Australia is state of mind: wonderment, grandeur, beauty,…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 26 Nov 2008

Kidman and Jackman ooze movie star chemistry, the latter in particular hefting this rather sluggish and ill-defined tale upon his rugged shoulders…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for Worcester Telegram & Gazette (604) on 26 Nov 2008

Clearly intended as a big blockbuster, to call it merely entertaining is damning it with faint praise…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for LarsenOnFilm (1,412) on 26 Nov 2008

wants to sweep previous sweeping historical romances off their feet…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Adam Fendelman (235) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 26 Nov 2008

Baz Luhrmann's Australia is a sweeping, grand epic in the tradition of Gone With the Wind that gets away from its talented director, the writers…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 26 Nov 2008

An enormous, exotic, exhilarating frontier adventure that is, in its weight and grand ambition, on the epic scale of 'Gone With the Wind…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Jeffrey Westhoff (767) for Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) (767) on 26 Nov 2008

It is a pleasure, and not a guilty one, to place ourselves in the hands of a mischievous director who wants to push screen dimensions back…

Review of Australia (2008)

By John P. Mccarthy (315) for ReelTalk Movie Reviews (1,771) on 26 Nov 2008

Anyone craving a wide-screen romantic epic is in luck. Though flawed, Baz Luhrman's sprawling fantasia is a throwback to a noble cinematic tradition…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Pete Hammond (936) for Hollywood.com (1,014) on 26 Nov 2008

The singular vision of Luhrmann is to experience Australia and fall in love with the possibility of grand movies all over again…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Christopher Long (186) for Movie Metropolis (1,779) on 26 Nov 2008

Part melodrama, part live-action cartoon, and entirely awful…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Tricia Olszewski (442) for Washington City Paper (500) on 25 Nov 2008

There's a sense throughout that this movie, stuffed script and all, means something. It's art…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 25 Nov 2008

For the more inclined, Australia is a dramatically fertile, immersive gem: an epic with true epic intentions and execution, reinvesting in…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Rebecca Murray (740) for About.com (1,470) on 25 Nov 2008

Not even a shirtless Jackman makes this Australia worth visiting…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 25 Nov 2008

Watching Luhrmann swinging for the fences and missing is still a hell of a lot more entertaining than watching most other contemporary filmmakers…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 25 Nov 2008

[U]nabashedly old-fashioned and proudly romantic... sincere and straight-up…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Erik Childress (902) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 25 Nov 2008

By unnecessarily extending the film (and shortening what should have formed its crux), Australia manages the almost unfeasible feat of becoming…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Beliefnet (937) on 25 Nov 2008

It's always nice to see pretty people doing great things, but in telling the story that should have been most his own, Luhrmann has ceded his…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for MSNBC (243) on 25 Nov 2008
