    An interrogation of Australia's history of racial violence that also takes on gender, identity and domestic abuse against a backdrop right out of an archetypal high country Western, the engrossing thriller is admirably ambitious but choppy, at times eluding the director's grasp.

    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 David Rooney
    A stirring requiem of rage and resistance.
    • 51 Metascore

    • 81 Metascore
