Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald There are few surprises here... But by the time it's done, you've gained a clear insight into the way racial prejudice can precipitate a rush to judgment by even the seemingly enlightened. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 5, 2019 Full Review David Stratton The Australian 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. Rated: 4/5 Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Eddie Cockrell Variety 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. Jun 16, 2019 Full Review Mel Campbell ScreenHub Emu Runner, like its heroine, is a quiet gem. Its simple and satisfyingly realised themes of family and identity will appeal to kids Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 11, 2019 Full Review David 'Mad Dog' Bradley Adelaide Review [Rhae-Kye] Waites holds the film together and brings a lot of unpolished honesty to the role of nine year old Gem, and makes up for some of the more stilted supporting players. Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW The delicate direction by Imogen Thomas, who worked closely with cultural consultant Frayne Barker, occasionally hits moments of real poignancy and beauty.

Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
