Good themes and production, with a few warts, 18 July 2004
6/10
Author: bouledogue from Saint Paul, MN

Cogent meditation on culture clashes in the Australian outback. This could have been a perfect setup for disaster, but all involved keep it mostly on the rails, with a large number of characters who are self-consistent, yet exhibit rich layers of complexity. All the acting is good or better, and Bryan Brown is really superb as Ray, the white constable. The director does succumb a few times too often to the temptation to hammer his points, as when a young couple having a guilty inter-racial affair are shown in flagrante delicto while the camera dashes rapidly back and forth between them and a Lutheran church service. Gag! Very good, but could have been still better.
