Critics Consensus

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

Kate Muir

The 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.

Wasikowska plays this wordless wanderer just right. That is, she makes her real.

Rated: 3.5/4

What emerges here is a woman of remarkable strength, and a movie that doesn't sugarcoat the dark side of her journey ...

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

Tracks succeeds magnificently in capturing the daunting atmosphere of the vast and harsh Australian outback.

Rated: 4/5

Herald Sun (Australia)

A wistfully dull, yet wilfully self-important account of adventurer Robyn Davidson's epic trek across the outback in 1977.

So boring. I barely made it through half of the movie. Maybe I am not very bright but what was her point?

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.
