Michael Booth
[Director Phillip] Noyce shows their awful, eventually uplifting journey without flinching, and the arid Australian wilderness is a co-star of the film.

Noyce trusts the power of the story to move us. He knows that, like the girls themselves, we'll find our way along Rabbit-Proof Fence.
Desson Thomson
It certainly has its moving moments.
Ann Hornaday
Searing dramatization of a story of remarkable courage, stamina and spirit.
Bill Muller
Many movies claim to illuminate the human spirit, but Rabbit-Proof Fence actually delivers.
Wesley Morris
Essentially, Noyce just wants to tell a good story, which he does.

The movie may sound like a yawn: Three girls walk through wind and rain and scrub brush to get back where they belong. But it's not.

The remarkable true story of how one woman changed the world of sports forever. When Catana Starks (Academy-Award Nominee Taraji P. Henson) became the first African-American woman to coach an all-men's team at the collegiate level she expected it to be tough but she had no idea just how challenging it would be. With no scholarships to offer and only one US student willing to join the team, she reached out across the globe to assemble a ragtag group of golfers including a clean cut kid from Australia, a wanna-be rapper from Korea and a street kid from London (Tom Felton). With sheer grit, determination and some unusual training tactics she guided this culture club of misfits to an all-time record championship season. Along the way she taught them no matter how rough the start, with the right aim and drive, anyone can triumph against overwhelming odds.
