Critics Consensus

What Tracks lacks in excitement, it more than makes up with gorgeous cinematography and Mia Wasikowska's outstanding performance.

Kate Muir Times (UK) Wasikowska strips herself down to basics to take on the tough role, and does a fine job, down to the handling of runaway bull camels. Dec 31, 2017 Full Review Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer Wasikowska plays this wordless wanderer just right. That is, she makes her real. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 3, 2014 Full Review Moira MacDonald Seattle Times What emerges here is a woman of remarkable strength, and a movie that doesn't sugarcoat the dark side of her journey ... Rated: 3/4 Oct 2, 2014 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Highlighting the rawness of Australia with incredible cinematography and containing a powerful performance from Wasikowska, "Tracks" is very above-average dramatic fare. Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Tracks succeeds magnificently in capturing the daunting atmosphere of the vast and harsh Australian outback. Rated: 4/5 Mar 12, 2021 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) A wistfully dull, yet wilfully self-important account of adventurer Robyn Davidson's epic trek across the outback in 1977.

Ian W A really interesting story becomes a very dull film. Look. I know she walked a long way. Impressive. But this film, less so. A long film (well it felt long) to reflect a long journey. OK, I get it. But it just bored me. I just kept thinking "get on with it ffs", We all know you're going to get to the ocean, there is no jeopardy. I felt the boredom she must have felt. Maybe that was the point. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Oreste G Beautiful and powerful Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Mike W It was a very good and interesting story told by accomplished actors, director and writers. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Kevin L That was a pleasure to endure. And endure is the apt word. Watching 'Camel Lady' trudging, tromping, blistering through that arid unforgiving land I couldn't help but feel a sense of what that misery would be like, as far as it was misery. But credit that to director Curran, cinematographer Walker, and visual effects by Kok and Rogers. But so much has to do with the fantastic work put out by Mia Wasikowska. Wasikowska herself is always a pleasure to watch. She never seems to be uncomfortable, uncertain, or in any kind of rush in front of a movie camera. Here, we see her conveying one emotion, one mental state after another; all convincing; all compelling. And how about that Adam Driver? No, really, what's up with Adam Driver? Well, he's very good, again, for one. As Rick, he also reminded me of a couple of guys I've known. He's been told he's smart too often; obnoxious and a bit entitled; but at heart a really decent fella. I hope the actual Robyn Davidson liked it. 3.4 stars Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/23 Full Review isla s This film features good cinematography with admirable landscape shots highlighting the obvious barren land encountered while the main character, Robyn, was travelling across the Australian outback. I very much got the sense that Robyn craved the isolation that the landscape provided and I could relate to her frustration and awkwardness felt when confronted with the frequent arrival of the photographer from the National Geographic, looking for her to create what she criticised as artificial representations of herself. I quite liked the traditional (well, I assume its traditional) music played in the background, which is somewhat slow and sombre sounding. I felt Mia Wasikowska gave a good performance as Robyn - the film has one or two quite moving moments and I liked that its based on a true story, indeed when the credits start to appear at the end, the real photos from the National Geographic story are shown and information is displayed on screen, which I appreciated. Overally I would recommend it, yes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 50 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
