Movie Review: Australia (Blogcritics.org)
The beautiful wilderness is the best part of this dull, overdone epic. It's never a good sign when the projectionist tells you to pack a lunch before watching a movie. This happened to me when I went to go see Australia, a big slice of epic pie from Moulin Rouge! director Baz Luhrmann. I took my friend's words with a grain of salt, since I dug Luhrmann's crazy revisionist musical and assumed ...

Movie Review - "Australia" wastes its epic potential (University News)
I wish I had liked this film better. I wanted to enjoy it, but every time I would relish a spectacularly shot sequence, I was confused by its shifting focus and lackluster romance. This sweeping epic is breathtakingly beautiful, but the recycled emptiness of its characters and themes had me bored.

Movie review: Australia (Journal Inquirer)
Baz Luhrmann dreamed of making the Australian “Gone With the Wind,” and so he has, with much of “GWTW’s” lush epic beauty, and some of the same awkwardness with a national legacy of racism.

Movie Review: Australia (Blogcritics.org)
Despite a few blemishes, I believe that Australia will be atop many Best Picture lists come January 22nd. Beautiful movies require beautiful words. And Australia is not only an epic-length film but it is also beautiful to look at, and so is the hot hunk Hugh Jackman, a veritable Warren Beatty in his prime, who plays opposite beautiful love interest Nicole Kidman. This action adventure Baz ...

Film Review: Che (Film Journal)
We're fortunate this holiday movie season to be gifted with two very different but equally strong entries in the often-problematic biopic genre. The first is Gus Van Sant's Milk , an account of the too-brief political career of slain gay-rights activist Harvey Milk. While surprisingly conservative in both its style and structure—particularly compared to Van Sant's recent run of movies from Gerry ...

Movie review: 'Australia' (Worcester Telegram & Gazette)
"Australia" is an old-fashioned epic romance, where the problems of two people play against big set pieces, exotic locales and a cataclysmic event. The model is movies like "Gone with the Wind" and "Dr. Zhivago," but "Australia" isn't in their league. Still viewers hungering for this kind of movie will not be disappointed. Clocking in at nearly three hours, the movie can be called many things, ...
