Review of The Rover (2014)

By Tom Shone (158) for Guardian (4,584) on 10 Jun 2014

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Tribune News Service (1,102) on 10 Jun 2014

As violent and primal as “Animal Kingdom,” but not as brisk. The film grinds to a halt in between confrontations…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for indieWire (3,631) on 10 Jun 2014

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Simon Miraudo (882) for Quickflix (709) on 08 Jun 2014

The Rover is a hugely stressful tone poem in which on-screen characters are constantly being shot and killed by off-screen characters…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 05 Jun 2014

The Rover is dark and engaging, with superb use of the heart-stopping landscape around the Flinders Ranges, but it could be accused of mannerism…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Matthew Pejkovic (770) for Matt's Movie Reviews (913) on 03 Jun 2014

A brooding and intense journey into a graceless world, with Robert Pattinson delivering a fascinating, career defining performance in the process…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Fiona Williams (67) for sbs.com.au (697) on 02 Jun 2014

The desolate parable of brooding outback justice plays out as though Cormac McCarthy has reimagined Mad Max 2 for the 21st century, with late-model…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Jason Gorber (520) for ScreenAnarchy (469) on 24 May 2014

It's the steadiness of The Rover that is its most defining feature, a sense that you're perambulating towards an inevitable showdown and just…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 22 May 2014

Bleak, brutal and unrelentingly nihilist, and with only sporadic flashes of the blackest, most mordant humor to lighten the load, it feels…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By John Bleasdale (289) for CineVue (2,163) on 22 May 2014

For most post-apocalyptic films, the nightmare is really a disguised fantasy. In Michôd's excellent The Rover, the nightmare is real…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for The Guardian (2,969) on 22 May 2014

Michôd creates a good deal of ambient menace in The Rover; Pearce has a simmering presence…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 22 May 2014

While there are some very strong performances in the film, the movie is inert, dramatically speaking, and covers such familiar ground that…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 22 May 2014

Michôd’s film consciously plays like an outback western, peppered with jagged and unpredictable outbursts of hard brutality…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By William Goss (413) for Film School Rejects (1,198) on 21 May 2014

doesn't deliver the same kind of genre-rattling excitement as most similar efforts, but from scene to scene, moment to moment, it's an enthralling…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for Film.com (1,892) on 20 May 2014

A dark, dreary and dull “Mad Max in Neutral” from director David Michôd (“Animal Kingdom”) that tries to pass off its blunt narrative…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 19 May 2014

Always commanding attention at the film’s center is Pearce, who, under a taciturn demeanor, gives Eric all the cold-hearted remorselessness…
