Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

denis888 It is not an easy feat to make such slow, serious, moody, thoughtful, visually rich but eventwise sparse movies like Tracks. The very story is the real life traveling of a woman named Robyn Davidson, along with her doggie and 4 camels. Australia is a very unfriendly continent with its dire desert, merciless sun, dry arid air, cruel winds, lack of rain and plenty of sand and flies as well as pests in heated air. And yet, people live there and life goes on well there, as well. Mia Wasikowska does a great job as a main hero, and Adam Driver serves very well as a bit awkward but deeply sympathetic photographer. Their duo holds strong, with all the cameo roles and short appearances of numerous actors. One strong word of warning to all those who're going to peruse this film - it is rather slow, moody and deeply dreamy. If you're after fast wild action flicks, stay away from this one. But if you're interested in slower and moodier pieces of cinema, you're for a right track. In fact, this film only made me bewildering more how some brave people can try such dangerous trips alone and in such unfriendly country climatewise. They do, and they prove that a man is strong.

Seth_Rogue_One 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.

JohnnyWeissmuller Tracks tells the story of Robyn Davidson's 1700 mile trek across the Australian outback, which she undertook in 1977, walking from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean with only a small train of camels and her dog for company. Directed by John Curran and starring Mia Wasikowska, this long- gestating project is slow-moving, but compelling and involving as this young woman endeavours to accomplish a personal journey that soon becomes very public. Wasikowska is splendid in the lead, giving a quiet, but assertive performance portraying a character thriving in a man's world despite advice to the contrary. Necessity, however, means that she can't journey entirely alone, needing sponsorship and guidance along the way. The former, coming from National Geographic, whose photographer meets her at intervals en route, and the latter in gaining the trust of Aborigine elders whom she must be accompanied by if crossing hallowed ground. Along the way flashbacks inform us of Davidson's past, filling in gaps on her childhood and what may have encouraged her to seek solace in the desert. Whilst her formative months learning to handle and control camels shows how tenacious, intelligent and determined this girl is. Along the way, danger is certainly abound, but this isn't an action movie whilst the mood created is often subdued and introspective. The location shooting is excellent and animal handling first-rate. The camels are particularly anthropomorphic, whilst Davidson's dog, Diggity, proves to be her most valuable companion.

happy_hangman A fascinating actress. Quirkily alluring in the off-beat 'Stoker' and 'The Double', and enigmatic in 'Jane Eyre'...and is one of the few young actors whose name alone might bring me to a film whose subject matter wasn't immediately engaging...which is how I came to watch John Curran's adaptation of Robyn Davidson's autobiographical 'Tracks', today. A young woman leading her pet pooch and four camels 1700 miles across the Australian wilderness for no reason other than she can't be arsed with people would not be my first choice of must-see movies, to be truthful, but if anyone could persuade me it was worth a try it would be Ms W. The script is slight, the characterisations fairly basic, but the central performance holds everything together very nicely - particularly combined with the bleakly beautiful landscape cinematography of Mandy Walker (whose work on 2008's 'Australia' was that film's ONLY redeeming feature).
