[C]ombining sensitive direction with strong performances and unflinching visuals to create a western of epic proportions. Though set in 1920s Australia, the tale has a moral force beyond time and place.

Rating: 3/4 --
A movie of visuals first and foremost.

[T]he movie has a mythic thrust that’s partly due to its almost playful manipulation of time, its silent flash-forwards lending the story a feeling of futility and predetermination.

Rating: 4/5 --
Not only is Sweet Country a superb genre film, its focus on Aboriginal lives... makes it more than a little revolutionary. Most US Westerns fail at their indigenous representation, and this Aussie film is here to show them how it's done.

"The fourth feature by Australian filmmaker Thornton is not just the surprise of the week. It can even be the year, even though it has been released in our country with more than a year of delay".

Rating: B --
Spare, deliberately paced, and almost Biblical in its search for moral justice in a harsh and lawless landscape.
