Highlighting the rawness of Australia with incredible cinematography and containing a powerful performance from Wasikowska, "Tracks" is very above-average dramatic fare.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2023

Tracks succeeds magnificently in capturing the daunting atmosphere of the vast and harsh Australian outback.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 12, 2021

A wistfully dull, yet wilfully self-important account of adventurer Robyn Davidson's epic trek across the outback in 1977.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 19, 2020

Tracks doesn't make a very deep imprint, but that doesn't mean it's not worth checking out.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2019

Mia Wasikowska gives a bravura performance in John Curran's adaptation...

| Aug 7, 2019

The assured performances and great cinematography help to carry things along... Unfortunately those factors can't elevate Tracks to something more than an ordinary take on an extraordinary tale.

| Jun 13, 2019

There may have been times when it looked like Alice's Adventures in the Outback, but Wasikowska herself gives a performance of stature in Davidson's battered shoes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2019

Tracks breathtaking locations and lush cinematography more than make up for its trudging pace and unfulfilling character development.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 11, 2018

Tracks is powerful, even if the payoff is a long time coming and many camel close-ups must be endured.

| Aug 23, 2018

Wasikowska strips herself down to basics to take on the tough role, and does a fine job, down to the handling of runaway bull camels.

| Dec 31, 2017

As a version of her adventures, Tracks navigates its way to the big screen safely enough; its bearings are only slightly off compass.

| Oct 14, 2017

John Curran eschews hollow moralizing, opting instead for Herzogian spectacle with discreet, if somewhat shallow, psychological underpinnings.

| Oct 11, 2017

Tracks avoids romanticising and over-dramatising the journey. Instead it delivers a real sense of the mental and physical challenges Davidson faced.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 8, 2017

[John] Curran offers a character study about one of the rarest sights in Western cinema: a well-adjusted female loner.

| Aug 21, 2017

Tracks is an invitation rarely proffered by a modern film: one that asks us to consider what we really need.

| Aug 3, 2017

Directed with respect and grace by John Curran (We Don't Live Here Anymore), Tracks' endless sandscapes and harsh outback make for a lovely, vaguely experimental character piece in the vein of Kelly Reichardt's Meek's Cutoff.

| Mar 9, 2017

The long-deserved triumph is present, but what comes after the journey? Perhaps Davidson prefers that remain private.

| Original Score: B | Jun 27, 2016

An extraordinary questing drama about a trek across the desert that becomes a rite of passage.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 14, 2015

The story is very worth the telling, though this movie is not, I suspect, the best telling it could have received.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 4, 2015

It understands that life is fundamentally about embracing the mystery and majesty of the inexplicable.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 31, 2014
