A really interesting story becomes a very dull film. Look. I know she walked a long way. Impressive. But this film, less so. A long film (well it felt long) to reflect a long journey. OK, I get it. But it just bored me. I just kept thinking "get on with it ffs", We all know you're going to get to the ocean, there is no jeopardy. I felt the boredom she must have felt. Maybe that was the point.

Beautiful and powerful

It was a very good and interesting story told by accomplished actors, director and writers.

That was a pleasure to endure. And endure is the apt word. Watching 'Camel Lady' trudging, tromping, blistering through that arid unforgiving land I couldn't help but feel a sense of what that misery would be like, as far as it was misery. But credit that to director Curran, cinematographer Walker, and visual effects by Kok and Rogers. But so much has to do with the fantastic work put out by Mia Wasikowska. Wasikowska herself is always a pleasure to watch. She never seems to be uncomfortable, uncertain, or in any kind of rush in front of a movie camera. Here, we see her conveying one emotion, one mental state after another; all convincing; all compelling. And how about that Adam Driver? No, really, what's up with Adam Driver? Well, he's very good, again, for one. As Rick, he also reminded me of a couple of guys I've known. He's been told he's smart too often; obnoxious and a bit entitled; but at heart a really decent fella. I hope the actual Robyn Davidson liked it. 3.4 stars

This film features good cinematography with admirable landscape shots highlighting the obvious barren land encountered while the main character, Robyn, was travelling across the Australian outback. I very much got the sense that Robyn craved the isolation that the landscape provided and I could relate to her frustration and awkwardness felt when confronted with the frequent arrival of the photographer from the National Geographic, looking for her to create what she criticised as artificial representations of herself. I quite liked the traditional (well, I assume its traditional) music played in the background, which is somewhat slow and sombre sounding. I felt Mia Wasikowska gave a good performance as Robyn - the film has one or two quite moving moments and I liked that its based on a true story, indeed when the credits start to appear at the end, the real photos from the National Geographic story are shown and information is displayed on screen, which I appreciated. Overally I would recommend it, yes.

The greatest 01 hour: and 50 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An incredible movie about an incredible woman doing something most people don't understand. It's a beautifully filmed story set in a breathtaking environment. The writing is simple, yet effective, not pretentious at all. Both Mia Wasikowska and Adam Driver give subtle performances that packs a punch. The movie certainly made me want to trek across the Australian outback, so very good.

Early in Tracks, Robyn Davidson (Mia Wasikowska) declares that "I would like to think an ordinary person is capable of anything" before setting off on foot on a 2,000 mile journey across Western Australia, accompanied by her faithful dog and four camels. Based on a true story, it's a film of exceptional beauty as she makes her way west through some of the most daunting but beautiful landscapes imaginable. Wasikowska plays her role perfectly, carefully balancing Davidson's sense of self-confidence with her understanding of how dangerous and potentially foolish her journey is. While the steady stream of flashbacks can be distracting, and perhaps unnecessary, the journey of self-discovery is compelling throughout and, as she approaches her destination, she realizes that an ordinary person can, in fact, accomplish anything.

Simple, beautiful and compelling. Gets you in right at the start when the perfectly underplayed wanderer asks for a job at an outback hotel.

A girl decides to drift around in the Australian desert for a long time. She brings some camels and a dog and drifts around. She meet some people, like Aborigines for example and she also befriend a photographer that takes part of her trip now and then. That's it. I guess I was not in the mood for this film, or any film, really, as I haven't really been the last few months. I had trouble paying it the attention it probably deserved. It has some nice music, great scenery and a chill, open plot that I normally enjoy. I got into the last 1/3 of the film and I truly enjoyed what I saw. It was moving, free and it felt nice to see the true images from the pretty amazing story. The acting was nice too. Too bad I never re-watch films, since this probably is quite all right. The rating is based on the impressions I got, mostly based on the last parts of the flick. 6.5 out of 10 camels.

Tracks will inevitably be compared to the contemporaneous Wild, both being movies based on memoirs about a woman going on a lone trek to "find herself." However, I think Tracks was the better of the two films. It was beautifully photographed, more down to earth in style, and more thematically relatable. I also find Robyn Davidson more sympathetic than Cheryl Strayed, the former being extremely introverted while the latter more self-centered. Davidson's journey was also more daring.

‘Tracks' is based on a true story of a young Robyn (Mia Wasikowska) who decides to travel 1,700 miles through the deserts of Western Australia to the Indian Ocean, accompanied only by her dog and four camels. Although it was created before the American movie 'Wild' with Reese Witherspoon, there can be numerous parallels between these two titles – a woman who moves into the venture on her own, facing the past and loss, beautiful cinematography... Some might get in the way of a slow rhythm, but it's worth watching - the ending is pretty well done and very emotional.

Tracks is one of the more interesting Australian films I've seen in recent times. It didn't set the box office on fire as films from our industry aren't top priority for our cinemas and distributors. This is just a well made film with a great central meaning. Australian films should focus more on this style of film-making to appeal to the larger audiences. I never knew this real life story existed and it has now focused light on areas I never thought of exploring. Maybe in the future we could see a Burke and Wills film. Tracks has the trappings of most real life stories transitioned for film, how much of it is actually true. I enjoyed the film and it's refreshing to watch a film about my home country that isn't just a dark crime film. It's an inspiring film and considering the subject it couldn't be more relevant. 27/10/2020

Thank you for making this beautiful movie. I haven't sat through a whole movie til the end and felt so emerged and inspired in years. You made me feel that nostalgic movie magic. I'd forgotten that feeling. Those actors...Mia and Adam are mesmerizing. Just a beautiful movie.

A charming story with remarkable cinematography. A great piece of Australian cinema.

(watched at altitude so memory patchy). Striking real exploration of Australia and personal adventure. I am sure there is a richer layer I don't recall. The character encounters worked.

Whit this performance, you'd follow Wasikowska everywhere.

Tracks. It's available on Netflix streaming and should you watch it? Yes. It's labeled as inspiring on Netflix but I think more than anything it's thought provoking. This is yet another movie based on a true story, actual events, and real life. Sound tiresome? It's not. I promise. First ask yourself, what would not cause but instead motivate a woman to travel by foot, for what appears to be endless miles. What are we humans doing or not doing that makes us want to search, plod on, test ourselves. Luckily for us, this is one of those movies that successfully pull off the whole follow me on my trek -across the vast land- and we'll have an adventure -blueprint. As with such type of films, the film's success greatly depends on the likability of the curious traveler. Mia Wasikowska is convincing and commanding enough as Robyn Davidson to hold our attention and provoke us into asking questions about ourselves. Wasikowska has non human help on screen, from a black lab, who plays Diggity. The events unfold to demonstrate's Diggity's intelligence, purpose, and affectionate interactions with Davidson on screen. Diggity's presence makes Davidson more relatable and turns viewers into admirers. There's an interesting scene that turns the trite tale of a woman being kissed on its head. Instead of having Wasikowska having something done to her, it involves Adam Driver artfully being kissed by Wasikowska. This is wonderful insight into a person's version of finding oneself through self imposed obstacles.

A nice Australian Film. Slow paced.

Watch this if: You love true stories of extraordinary lives. Tracks is outstanding. Truly. It's the story of one woman's courageous, deeply touching journey across the Australian outback - that's a trip of 1,700 miles. It's a story of bravery, connection with self, resilience, and deep determination.Oh, and it's gloriously beautiful.
