Australia (PG-13,
Drama, Action, Family) B+
Set in Australia before WWII a wealthy English
woman (Nicole Kidman) travels to Australia to take over a ranch that is
not doing well financially. She hires a cattle driver (Hugh Jackman) to
help her manage the ranch. A big part of the film shows the relationship
of the aboriginal people with the white population in Australia through
the eyes of a young boy who also does a lot of the narration for the film.
At first the movie was a bit too campy but the story eventually draws you
in to maintain you very interested in the film despite the fact that it
is almost three hours long.
