Review of Australia (2008)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Film.com (1,892) on 26 Nov 2008

The massive panoramas of wild Australia suddenly make Luhrmanns wild flourishes look puny…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 26 Nov 2008

At once sprawling and intimate, melodramatic and comic, magnificent and utterly bonkers, it bears entertaining witness to Luhrmann's love of…

Review of Australia (2008)

By David Fear (910) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 Nov 2008

Are we so desperate to sate our malnourished nostalgia for movie magic that we'd settle for a facsimile so grand, lavish and empty…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Carla Meyer (580) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 26 Nov 2008

For much of its more than 2 1/2- hour length, this sweeping film from Aussie director Baz Luhrmann provides old-fashioned thrills and entertainment…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 26 Nov 2008

Long in the making -- and almost as long in the watching -- Baz Luhrmann's Australia is epic piffle…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Armond White (604) for New York Press (561) on 26 Nov 2008

Baz Luhrmann's Australia isn't a history of the penal colony turned commonwealth, but Luhrmann's absurd, cliché-ridden filmmaking ought to…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 26 Nov 2008

Comedy and tragedy, action and melodrama, full measures of quirk and swoon: It's just a plain good time at the movies…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 26 Nov 2008

It's an endurance test that ends in moans of recognition as characters seem to be acting out scenes from other, better movies…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 26 Nov 2008

Australia only covers about two years in that continent's history. But as long as the movie feels, you'd swear it covered a decade…

Review of Australia (2008)

By Lisa Kennedy (833) for Denver Post (1,096) on 26 Nov 2008

Even more than a Western, Australia is a musical without a songbook. Its emotions are large, its rhythms bold…

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…
