4.5/5
An uncomfortable, powerful watch. Cementing Warwick Thornton’s status as one of our foremost directors. A master storyteller. Go to Full Review Luke Buckmaster Guardian Apr 29
3/5
Thornton, a rare director who is also his own cinematographer, knows how to conjure the thick, arid stink of a meat pie western. He delivers a film of rough-hewn, harsh beauty, as if it’s been dropped in the dust and stomped on. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald Apr 29
3.5/5
[Wolfram] remains interestingly at odds with itself, functioning to a degree as a traditional melodrama with goodies and baddies, while signalling an awareness that these categories won’t suffice. Go to Full Review Jane Freebury Jane Freebury 3d
4/5
A tender story of family reunion informs this outback western in which the power of place on red earth under wide, azure sky sweeps everything before it Go to Full Review Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) May 1
3.5/5
With Sweet Country and now Wolfram, the eternally idiosyncratic Warwick Thornton has gifted us with Australia's answer to Blood Meridian. Go to Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) May 1
4/5
[Melds] western genre aesthetics with the sufferings dealt to our original people as colonialist law and greed sprawled inland. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
