      Logan D Detective Jay Swan arrives in Goldstone to investigate the disappearance of a young woman only to uncover corruption. When I started using Tubi I created a watchlist that is so ridiculously long I can't add anymore to it until I delete one. The film that's been on the list the longest is called Mystery Road. I had no idea this movie is a sequel to that. But I don't think it spoiled anything. This film follows many tropes of the stranger arriving in town to beat up the bad guys. These tropes are improved by two things. One, the involvement of Aboriginal actors. Two, several strong performances. Pederson is especially impressive as as the quiet and tormented Swan. And I loved seeing David Gulpilil again. There's a beautifully poignant scene with him. He passed away in 2021. I wasn't entirely convinced by the transformation of one of the characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Alain M I didn't like the first one, the second is even worse in my opinion, why do they keep making such stuff Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review Gareth v While not as strong as Mystery Road, this is still a great thriller/drama led by the underrated Aaron Pedersen as Jay Swan. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review don c Deconstruct the hero. In this case make him a drunk unable to come to terms with the loss of his daughter a year previously, This enables a young white police office to take over the role of most effective protagonist and leave our hero drinking and moping and eating dust. Why? These are the stories writers are coming up with these days, Tear down and destroy the heroes so they can pick up the pieces and the corporation can cash in again on a popular established IP. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review isla s This is a somewhat gritty watch, although its in a quite pretty setting. The contrast does lead to a relatively bleak feel present throughout. The cinematography is great but the plot is distinctly sobering, with some less than especially likeable characters and definite themes of fear and manipulation present. Its a perhaps thought provoking watch, not the kind of film I'd like to think about much after seeing due to the plotline but its a relatively decent film in general. There's a convincing sense of barrenness and isolation felt. Oh and also, the final scene I felt was surprisingly powerful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member With some better editing this could have been a spectacular movie. Needing the audience to feel the isolation and remoteness I understand, but when you repeatedly use the same long overhead shots and long sweeping camera angles of the vastness, it loses its impact and just highlights that you are working with small sets and cast. The acting is top notch and the character development gives the actors a lot to work with. The subtlety of the racism is perfect at getting the message across without it becoming the overwhelming focus of the movie. Still, ran a little long.

      Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic As a cinematic diatribe set in a stark moral universe, "Goldstone" comes in loud and clear. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post Ultimately, though set in the remote Australian bush, "Goldstone" is grounded in the vivid familiarity of the here and now. Rated: 3/4 Mar 14, 2018 Full Review Karen Han The Daily Beast Goldstone is our next great Western. That may sound like an oxymoron given that the film takes place in Australia, but it's a paragon of a genre that has increasingly questioned history's displacement of indigenous people. Mar 9, 2018 Full Review Josh Goller Spectrum Culture Goldstone's scattershot themes are too unfocused and its characters too underdeveloped to hit home. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 20, 2019 Full Review Joni Blyth One Room With A View A cracking finale picks up the momentum, but Goldstone ultimately adds up to less than the sum of its parts. Rated: 2/5 Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Mildly engaging with great cinematography, but overstuffed, undercooked, contrived, shallow, and somewhat lethargic. Rated: 5.9/10 Mar 3, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
