Review of Walkabout (1971) by J B — 25 Mar 2011

Slow at times and the older boy's behavior becomes weird and unexplainable at the end, but it's a good survival tale and shows how even in bad times, good things can come out of them. Although, the young brother is not supposed to understand the dire situation that him and his older sister share, the older sister never seems to reflect emotionally or realistically on their rather unfortunate situation.

I've never seen a film with this kind of setting or filming style, but that's probably because it's from the early 70's. Back then it was probably a masterpiece. I'm not saying Walkabout is a bad film, it's pretty good actually.

Just dated.
