Rating: 2.5/4 -- "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". Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- If the movie's outlook is less than hopeful, it nevertheless suggests that there is still time to learn from our mistakes. Full Review

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

Rating: 5/5 -- Warwick Thornton's outback morality tale, Sweet Country, combines exquisite visuals of Australian landscapes with a script that dabbles as much in mythical justice as deeply specific ideas of what this country is made of. Full Review

[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.
