Dumb.

Just gorgeous, beautifully, subtly made. If you're ever feeling sorry for yourself spare a thought for Afghan refugees everywhere; their plight is heartbreaking.

The most daring and confronting Egyptian film I have seen (apart from 1971's Adrift on the Nile). To see homosexuality depicted (somewhat) sympathetically in a film starring some of Egypt's most famous stars was a revelation. This film, and the book it was based on, were hugely successful in Egypt. I am quite amazed that neither were banned - perhaps a glimmer of hope that society there is opening up a little?

This film left me quite cold. Lots of style, not a lot of pathos...disappointing.

Absolutely sublime.

This is such a fantastic film - it has everything. Love, honour, loss, suffering, fear, humour, courage, action, wistfulness...I was hooked for 208 minutes!

I was really underwhelmed by this film. It just seemed to be a big mess with no character development and no wit or humour in the script. Nolan did much better on a fraction of the budget with Momento. Why do directors who get big budgets spend the money on car chases instead of excellent scripts??? So tired of mediocre, uninventive, unsophisticated Hollywood films!

I just saw this at the Sydney Film Festival and thought it was absolutely spell-binding and gorgeous. The pace was slow but I was mesmerised and so relieved not to have a story shoved down my throat. What a courageous, original and talented filmmaker Weerasethakul is.

A truly beautiful film.

Pure, nostalgic joy.

I must say I was a little disappointed in this. Granted it's one of the last Coen Bros.' movies I have yet to see and its reputation precedes it, and yet...it left me a little cold. Very stylish but not much warmth.

Wow, wow, wow!!! I consider myself a film buff but for some reason at the ripe old age of 31 I still hadn't seen this. It was magnificent. I was completely enthralled and inspired with awe. So beautiful and so inventive. I had seen Avatar the day before and what a feeble, lacklustre effort that film was in comparison.

Pretty dull and pointless.

Despite its setting and title, this is not an Australian film but a British one, it does feel like it has been made by an 'outsider'. This film could have been shot elsewhere (it is based on a book set in the US where a native American saves the children). Nicholas Roeg has used the Australian landscape to great effect, creating a visually stunning film about the division between traditional life and ‘civilisation’.

I thought this film was wonderful, one of his best. He is so knowledgeable about film history and each of his films is a homage to directors who have come before him. Yet, he manages to also supersede these to give his films the Tarantino touch. I don't care what anyone says, he's a very bight and very talented filmmaker. I look forward to what's in store next!

Fabulous! 'Alien' set in Antarctica. Truly suspenseful and scary. You go Mr Carpenter.

Over-hyped and dull. Why do filmmakers think they need to include a murder for a movie to be interesting? Geoffrey Rush, usually wonderful, it wooden and Barbara Hershey is an unnecessary import who has had too many botox treatments! I love Kerry Armstrong and Anthony La Paglia but again they haven't much to work with. A sluggish film from a great Australian director.

One of the most underrated Australian directors and films.
