In this epic tale of Australia’s pre-WW2 Northern Territories, you will abosolutely fall in love with the aboriginal child, Nullah (Brandon Walters). His water tower episode is gripping, the stampede scene is unforgettable, and his departure for the mission tearful. Nicole Kidman is not bad as the stiff but resilient Lady Ashley, and Hugh Jackman plays his usual stud self as Drover, the untamable cowhand. Romance, action, greed, spirituality…even a little humor (Nullah in the tree!)...this film has something for everyone, including a half a zillion references to the “Wizard of Oz,” pun fully intended by director Baz Luhrman.
