I watched this only because Aswan Reid won the AACTA and because Cate Blanchett was in it. I like Deborah Mailman but she seems to be the indigenous woman of choice in 90% of roles lately. Surely there are other women available for this type of role.
I love cinematic movies and this was no disappointment in that area of production. I also don't mind ploughing through slow movies providing there is some payoff in the long run.
Kept waiting for something to happen plot wise and it just didn't. Just endless beautiful cinematography, scene after disjointed scene.
In the end I viewed this as part religious mumbo jumbo vs Dreamtime with a dose of John Coffey thrown in and a waste of two hours. Very disappointing.
