Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Slow-burning but very powerful.
Fresh: Mystery Road is a detective story that unspools with languid menace on the widescreen of the Australian Outback.
Fresh: Director Ivan Sen's fourth feature evokes old westerns, Polanski's Chinatown and other noir classics, but still feels grounded in the dust and dried blood of the Australian soil.
Fresh: This sand-blasted Aussie murder mystery tinkers with genre convention while managing to remain sincere and thrilling.
