Australia Critic Reviews

  • "Luhrmann brings an unapologetically over-the-top and operatic aesthetic to the table." Los Angeles Times

    - Kenneth Turan

  • "...the banal story and predictable arc seems a departure for director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!), whose work is usually more inventive." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "...the beauty of the film's stars and landscapes, the appeal of the central young boy and, perhaps more than anything, the filmmaker's eagerness to please tend to prevail, making for a film general audiences should go with, even if they're not swept away." Variety

    - Todd McCarthy
