What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Jennie Punter Globe and Mail The film is uneven but in a kind of sweet, earnest way. Rated: 2/4 Sep 24, 2010 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star 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? Rated: 2/4 Sep 24, 2010 Full Review Ted Fry Seattle Times The bright colors and vibrant backgrounds ... go a long way in distracting from shortcomings in the story and style of this offhand hybrid. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 23, 2010 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 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] Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 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. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Laura Hiros Rincón de cine It can't avoid the comparison to Little Miss Sunshine...

GM M Fun, sometimes it's all your looking for. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Eric C 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review ken c 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review tony h 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It was the best movie I've ever seen in my whole life 10/10 would watch again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical Aussie humour showing typical life in country Australia in the 1960’s. Like all good comedy it sits on the knife edge of stereotypes v truth. The Church, germans, country women, Rolf Harris, Aborigines are all targetted..... It was just plain funny but, like Crocodile Dundee, the humour is very Australian. Listen to the words of the song the boy sings in response to be accused of theft...... sad, true, with a dose of funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
