Editorial Reviews "...Noyce has tailored an epic tale into a lean, economical movie....He directs with sensitivity and an impressive level of objectivity..." Box Office - p.136 - Chris Wiegand (11/01/2002)
"...[A] sturdy, touching movie....The movie becomes a paean to the beauty of the Australian countryside and the decency of most of the common people who aid the fugitives..." New York Times - p.E8 - Stephen Holden (11/29/2002)
"...This is the best kind of movie, the kind that comes back to haunt you months after watching it. Resonating and, above all, reminding. Go see..." Total Film - p.107 - Simon Crook (12/01/2002)
"...Spare and unyielding....Noyce honors the story best by standing back. Noyce lets the landscape and the untrained actresses own the screen..." Entertainment Weekly - p.71 - Lisa Schwarzbaum (12/06/2002)
"...The young actresses who play the fugitives, all newcomers, shoulder the story confidently..." Los Angeles Times - p.C1 - Manohla Dargis (11/29/2002)
