3.5/5

4/5
Emu Runner was clearly a labour of love for everyone who worked on it. It's a small film but one that can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. Go to Full Review Eddie Cockrell Variety 06/16/2019
Thomas has made a deep, rich meditation on family, community, country and racial tensions that strides well beyond its girl-meets-bird logline. Flightless the Dromaius novaehollandiae may be, but "Emu Runner" soars. Go to Full Review Mel Campbell ScreenHub 12/11/2019

10/15/2018 Lovely thoughtful film that shows a family struggling with grief and loss. A nice thing to see an Aboriginal community depicted in such a positive way, with strong loving characters. I really enjoyed this touching film. See more Read all reviews
