Review

there’s probably a lot more to this film than i got because it’s a criterion film and there’s probably some stuff i missed because i don’t know everything there is to know about aboriginal australians. to me it was a somewhat average thriller on its face with a bit of depth because of the sci-fi aspect and the whites vs. aboriginal overtones. it’s a nice enough journey, but wasn’t particularly eye-catching and i wouldn’t have pegged it as criterion-worthy.
