This movie makes up for every bad movie I have had to sit through this month. Absolutely perfect, in story acting, and sound. Robyn's journey is so amazing, and she is just so committed, Mia Wasikowska looks like a tiny child when she begins preparing for this 18,000 mile walk with no one but her dog Diggity, and her 3, and a half camels, but by time she has reached her end she has fully transformed into a strong Woman. The opening pulls you in right away as you follow Robyn as she apprentices as a wild camel herder and learns quite a bit (at first the hard way) which she takes with her. The Aboriginal actors all seemed to want to be part of the telling of this story, and that only added to it's authenticity. Mr. Eddie is brought to life so nicely and comes across as such a good person, as do most every person that Robyn comes across out there. The musical score is so very good, you have such a deep sense of foreboding, such loneliness in the darkest places, and so alive in the brightest spaces. I really Enjoyed this movie quite a bit, and would recommend this movie to anyone. Remember to hydrate, and get ready to be taken on a great journey.
