What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's original and high-spirited, but Bran Nue Dae is also uneven and sometimes overly kitschy.

The film is uneven but in a kind of sweet, earnest way. Go to Full Review
Peter Howell Toronto Star 09/24/2010

You have to wonder about the film's almost complete portrayal of Aborigines as dim-witted dunderers, dancing fools, thieves and drunks. Whites fare no better. Does the film explode stereotypes, or reinforce them? Go to Full Review

The bright colors and vibrant backgrounds ... go a long way in distracting from shortcomings in the story and style of this offhand hybrid. Go to Full Review
Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 08/10/2022
The music is catchy, the choreography, tumultuous, and it is not advised to take up an attitude before this brief 88 minutes of revelry. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

3.0/4.0
While the singing at times leaves something to be desired, with the exception of the buoyant and magnetic Mauboy, tis' the tunes and the infectious spirit that are the point. Go to Full Review

Luna H Mar 4 Love this movie. Seen it numerous times and always enjoy it. Love Ernie Dingo's character and charm, Rocky was great, as was Geoffrey Rush, Magda, Deborah Mailman, and all the other main characters. Enjoy the humour, fun dances,music and songs. It's a feel-good movie. See more Samuel P 11/10/2024 This movie is straight dog water booty cheeks See more GM M 07/06/2023 Fun, sometimes it's all your looking for. See more Eric C 05/22/2023 This is a timeless movie. It historically was a stage play performed in Broom Western Australia for many seasons. There is a movie that shows the history of the stage play being written and snippets of it being performed. [Australian Actor Ernie Dingo - much younger - was in the original stage play]. I have traveled through Broom, and watched several Australian moves on screen at the Broom Picture Garden. Red Dog another winner [take your smile and a handkerchief with you] shows the Picture Garden in one of it's Memorable scenes. I also had the pleasure of seeing Live : The Pigrim Brothers Band, Ernie Dingo, Jessica Mauboy Australian singer and a few others. Bran Nu Day accurately depicts a chapter of genuine Australian culture and Struggle. See more ken c 08/22/2022 This has an outstanding cast of First Nation actors & actresses. It's a 1960s romance story but the back story of intolerance is very powerful. See more tony h 10/10/2021 It could have been a bit more serious, and so on, more character development blah blah blah; -However, it surely means so much more as a great big chunk of musical fun with a serious side all the same; -Which is the Bran Nue Dae.
