As a cinematic diatribe set in a stark moral universe, "Goldstone" comes in loud and clear.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 15, 2018

Ultimately, though set in the remote Australian bush, "Goldstone" is grounded in the vivid familiarity of the here and now.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 14, 2018

The bad guys are such extreme political caricatures and the climax is so cack-handed that the structure can't hold.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 7, 2016

Faults and all, Goldstone dramatises some unpalatable themes with power and clarity, and seems likely to be remembered as one of the key Australian films of its era.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 7, 2016

The film delivers both as a thriller and as an expose. Pedersen and Russell, both very good as the two cops, head a distinguished and talented cast.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 1, 2016

[A] socially conscious, supremely accomplished procedural thriller.

Goldstone belongs to a suite of Australian films that contemplate land ownership in memorable ways ... But it has more weight than any of them, because the film's spiritual roots hark back to the traditional owners of the land.
