Really beautiful in scenery and story.
Due to some disturbing images/content this movie is for the 17+ crowd but I ABSOLUTELY loved it! Beautifully shot and smartly written, a wonderful surprise of a journey.

Rent it now!
The best movie ever! I love this movie, it has everything: action, drama, romance, comedy. I just can't stress enough: if you have not seen this movie, RENT IT! Stick with it, it may be boring at the beggining, but it is very rewarding.

Visually Entertaining
It was fantastic and was a big snub at the oscars.

Very disappointing, especially after so many great Baz films
I couldn't stand this movie, Nicole Kidman can NOT do comedy and she is just terrible in this movie, the storyline is accurate and stuff, but the whole thing is really cheesy and it was just really .. UGH! Baz Luhrmann was being a tryhard, trying to make a really good trillion dollar epic about Australia, but it fell flat on its face, I think he should stick to things like Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliet and Strictly Ballroom, those were great, but this was really poor. Some racial themes, swearing (1 f word) and a brief sexual scene, bad role models and good role models, some war violence and other violence like a man gets trampled by a stampede of cattle and his face is like leaking with blood and black stuff and its all bruised and BLECH! gross do not see this movie see Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge, great great movies, iffy for 10+

Truly spectacle
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! To paraphrase my thoughts...one sex scene which is a bit steamy, you see legs and a male's chest that's all doesn't show all that much and is very short. There's kissing but that shouldn't bother teens. The language is a bit more than moderate the f word is used once. Violence really didn't bother me but it did bother my friend, people get speared but it is not bloody except at the beginning and it wasn't all that bad. The most graphic scene is when the man gets run over which did the first time I saw it bother me a bit.

Adopt Nullah!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. We enjoy traveling to distant places and we enjoy Westerns. This movie offers both. We were both caught up in the story and were both moved emotionally at several points during the film. This film needs to be viewed in the theater!

I cried and laughed! Great movie!
I would see this movie again. Although it is directed more towards mature audiences, I liked it. Though there were some swear words, I would let an eleven-year-old watch this, though there are some innuendos and one mildly sexual scene. One scene was a little gory, where a person is trampled to death by cattle. You may get teary-eyed at some of the heartfelt scenes. I thought this film was great, just like the acting and actors.

Under 12s may find this film very disturbing!
I was 11 years when I first saw this movie. It has a couple of scenes like at the beginning a man got speared and another man got run over by cattle that I found quite disturbing. There was also a sad bit where a kangaroo was shot but that was quite funny. Me and my friend were either cying, laughing or just generally enjoying this movie. Just one negative, I thought it made Australia look like a bad country.

 
Historic fiction worth seeing
I thought there were too many story lines taking place in the movie though I guess you could say they did all finally come together in the end. Just when you thought the movie was over and everyone lives happily ever after something else happens... Even so, I enjoyed the movie and especially Hugh Jackman who I thought was very credible in his role. I thought the movie did a good job depicting the outback of WWII era Australia and did not tread lightly around the race issues. In regards to violence in the movie, it wasn't over the top and fit the storyline. The couples scenes are less than what you would see on t.v. at 9 pm. I would take a mature 12 year old to see this movie if they showed an interest.

long, campy, but very enjoyable
Yes, it was too long. Yes, some of the lines were laughable. But I found that I could pay attention the whole time because it was so interesting, although I found some of the lines funny when they weren't supposed to be. Anyways, the cinematography was amazing and the movie overall was very emotional (I cried a lot). Nullah is absolutely adorable and I think it would be great if the kid who played him got an award. Despite its faults, the movie consistently stays interesting and, though I kept expecting it to end, when it actually did end I wanted to see it again.

DON'T see this movie!
The movie drags on and on and on. it gets boring and I didn't think the movie made any sense.

It ended twice
This movie is great and creative but very long and it feels like it ends multiple times. You do see very briefly while the camera moves past an open door, a man and woman having sex

Great film, not for under 10s
Look, I watched this film when I was 9. I was slightly disturbed, though it is a great film. Things to look out for are probably the woman drowning and when the man gets hit by the cattle

Take a trip to Australia!
What a great family movie! It is not nearly as serious as it is billed to be. And there's a perfectly enchanting child at it's center. Yes, it is very long, but it is never boring. There's adventure, magic, romance, and music at every turn. Yes, there's a little gore (but much less than the Lord of the Rings films), a little skin (just fast forward when Sarah and Drover enter the Hotel), deaths (as with any tear-jerker) and fighting and drinking (no more than your average spaghetti western). Racism is a central issue in the film, yet it is never preachy. Besides, how could anyone possibly be prejudice towards the oh-so-adorable Nulla? Brave heros, remorseless villians, beautiful ladies, reformed drunks, a magic man, a trampling stampede, a fancy dress ball and The Wizard of Oz! Pop a huge bowl of popcorn and watch this one as a family (when you have 3 hours to spare).

I laughed!
I went to see this movie with my friend and her parents it was long but i found it enjoyable. There were some parts that went completely over our heads we laughed at some parts and there is some gore, bombing and a sexual scene. I would let a 12 year old see it.
