Such a frustrating disappointment

Load of rubbish!!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

That my wife and I both enjoyed watching. The scenery is fantastic, and it truly is a fascinating journey and story. But know that the movie presents a rosy picture of the book Tracks which I could not get through as Davidson is really a person not many people would like (nor would she like them). Anyway, see the movie.

Common people do things that seem impossible and uncommon. What appears a crazy journey is just an endless meeting. When the leading woman character realizes it, she starts to smile and embrace each problem, tragedy, lack of water crossing the desert as part of her life journey. Every single moment communicates and gives small drops of wisdom. By the way, a proverb say the hardest step in a journey is the first. Tracks are unique and endless. Take your own. In fact, ways chose and draw tracks across our life stories. Wise film!

So okay, road movie might not be the right word for it considering that our 'heroine' doesn't go by any vehicle or by any roads, but I mean in the end it's the same sort of ordeal as a road movie.Perhaps more of a spiritual journey, but so are the best road-movies.Anyways, the movie is based on Robyn Davidson's real life-tale who set out to with nothing but a dog and some camels go on a 1700 mile trek across the Australian desert.A bit slow (naturally) but Mia Wasikowska in the lead as Robyn does well at engaging us viewers in a fairly restricted performance (which is a great task in itself) and the cinematography is also well-shot which helps as well.If I should point out anything negative then that is that the end for me didn't pack the great emotional punch that I was hoping for, and that Adam Driver's character was a bit annoying (but that could very well been partly intentional).But other than that no real complaints and I would watch it again, and most definitely will at some point.

It was three months already that I had been waiting to see this movie. Well, the waiting was really worth for. Not only the filming is amazing in many aspects, but the story from the book, the actress, the actors, including Diggity are fabulous. This kind of movie awakens the spirit and gives new strength in all our hopes and dreams. I feel that I had I seen this movie at the age of 14, 15, 16... I would have changed many things in my life and I would have gone out to the world sooner than when I did. There are sequences in this movie that are priceless. To me, the most beautiful one had to do with her mixing with what surrounds her in the desert. She is wearing a clothing on her head, very subtle and she looks around her and feels something she would not feel in the normal day to day world. The beauty of the desert and its impact in our souls. That is what is portrayed in the sequence. I love everything about this movie, the aboriginals, the dust, the camels, all is so very well portrayed, so simply and natural. The tempo in the movie is also fantastic. It is a long difficult trip and yet the tempo is done with a rhythm that doesn't tire, but makes us feel like walking there too. To desert lovers, this film will not disappoint you. It will make you feel "that feeling". I recommend this movie eagerly to all passionate hearts and the youth in general. This will be an unforgettable movie. During the movie I thought it had been directed by a woman, but I was wrong, so the director really did a great job by keeping the sensitivity of certain scenes that are almost mystical. I remember when I studied English my English book had an article dedicated to Robyn Davidson (in this movie portrayed by Mia Wasikowska) and I thought I would like one day to see a movie about her. There is was!
