Reviews
The story is both fresh and archetypal; the landscape both hard and delicate - and beautifully observed.Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
The spare, classical chase drama that ensues is seeded with barbed observations on colonialism, cultural erasure and rough justice, kept poetically succinct by Thornton's lithe, soaring visual storytelling.Guy Lodge, Variety
Sweet Country's complexity and sophistication mark it as a landmark work of Indigenous cinema.Jason Anderson, Sight and Sound
