    Good Flick

    by kenclem1

    Cinematography was stunning, and I found myself quoting lines from the movie. It took me a second to realize that I was quoting a movie I had seen instead of classic literature.

    Ranks With the Epoch Movies of Our Time

    by BalancedCritic

    This is Grand Cinema to the scale we rarely see these days.
    A comparison with the scope and depth of Gone With The Wind comes to mind.
    Beautifully crafted and engaging.
    Truly worth seeing.

    Australia falls in line with Baz's stunning past films

    by theatersaurus

    I was already excited to see Australia because I love Nicole Kidman, and Baz- especially after seeing his 2001 "Moulin Rouge!" . Trying not to get my hopes up to high, I went into the theater with a neutral feeling...but I was very soon gratified. The film is not only funny, romantic, heart-wrenching and thrilling, but offers a wide arrange of beautiful shots from the Australian deserts to storms, to a beautiful transformed, flourishing garden of a ranch in the middle of the desolate plains. Do yourself a huge favor by means of entertainment and GO NOW!
