Curran's dreamy, semisurreal visuals, along with Mandy Walker's shimmering cinematography and Garth Stevenson's fluid score, help us see the world through Davidson's eyes.
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.
[Curran] presents a vision of nature that shimmers with uncanny beauty and eerie solitude, transcended by Mia Wasikowska in one of the best performances of the year.
Director John Curran has a sense for visual grandeur. The landscape is ablaze with heat, dust, flies and a staggering loneliness. When a snake slithers across Davidson as she sleeps, you can almost feel its cold against the skin.
