Reviews
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Mazzo Common people do things that seem impossible and uncommon. What appears a crazy journey is just an endless meeting. When the leading woman character realizes it, she starts to smile and embrace each problem, tragedy, lack of water crossing the desert as part of her life journey. Every single moment communicates and gives small drops of wisdom. By the way, a proverb say the hardest step in a journey is the first. Tracks are unique and endless. Take your own. In fact, ways chose and draw tracks across our life stories. Wise film!
denis888 It is not an easy feat to make such slow, serious, moody, thoughtful, visually rich but eventwise sparse movies like Tracks. The very story is the real life traveling of a woman named Robyn Davidson, along with her doggie and 4 camels. Australia is a very unfriendly continent with its dire desert, merciless sun, dry arid air, cruel winds, lack of rain and plenty of sand and flies as well as pests in heated air. And yet, people live there and life goes on well there, as well. Mia Wasikowska does a great job as a main hero, and Adam Driver serves very well as a bit awkward but deeply sympathetic photographer. Their duo holds strong, with all the cameo roles and short appearances of numerous actors. One strong word of warning to all those who're going to peruse this film - it is rather slow, moody and deeply dreamy. If you're after fast wild action flicks, stay away from this one. But if you're interested in slower and moodier pieces of cinema, you're for a right track. In fact, this film only made me bewildering more how some brave people can try such dangerous trips alone and in such unfriendly country climatewise. They do, and they prove that a man is strong.
cooper6611 About a young woman looking to get something different from life during the 1970's era. Bored with a very basic lifestyle with a limited chance of solid career that is geared towards a mans world she decides on a adventure to cross Austrialia on foot ending at the India Ocean. The journey teaches her a life lessons though life changing events along the way. A beautifully shot film with some unusual scenery and situations. Movie does move slow but the director keeps scenes moving so there is no boredom and keeping you interested. Mia Wasikowska is great in the movie along with a great supporting cast.Worth watching even if it is just for the scenery.
BasicLogic i often thought that some of the peoples' reasoning ability and logic are somewhat impaired. there are things that people stupidly do just want to prove something, but as a matter of fact, what they do in extreme behavior is nothing but irrational, self-righteous, meaningless and worthless. people are trying to do something to prove that they can overcome any kind of toughness, to prove that they have strong willpower to deal with dangerous situation like climbing rock, mountains, diving into the deep sea, jumping from a cliff, a plane, riding a motor bike at high speed over 20 cars, running marathon. but what's the purpose of doing these things? why you need to climb up the highest mountain to prove that you could do it? a jumbo jet with 400 to 600 hundred passengers would still fly over the summit that you have reached at 35,000 feet; climbing up the granite rock in yosemite national park, or reach the top of the monument rock without falling to your death....what? is there anything so special that you did it? there's another movie like this stupid one also has such meaningless stupidity: "wild 2014". why you have to trudge 1,000 miles on foot? to rediscover yourself? to punish yourself for what you did before? so let me ask you one thing: do you think that by walking 1,000 miles with just a backpack would allow you to find yourself, rebuild yourself, put you back on the right track of life? why not just stay at home and meditate regularly or do some community services, become a volunteer for some non-profit charity organizations? this young Australian woman led camels and dog across a 2,000 miles Australian desert is just another stupid, meaningless and worthless thing that nothing really to prove. some viewers said they enjoyed the cinematographic scenes of this film, that's another thing i could never understand.
