This is a gorgeously photographed, convincingly acted, densely plotted epic of a movie. It is so complex that at several points you may think the story is finished, but you'll be wrong. It's like watching an entire mini-series at one sitting.
Don't misunderstand, I enjoyed it, but at one point I leaned over to my friend and said, "I thought it was over." She answered, "Oh, no, we've got another hour to go yet."
It has wonderfully convincing CGI effects, clever plot twists (including a spectacular cattle stampede with an unusual hazard and an amazing resolution that is particularly Australian.) It also has a relevant social message in among the revelations about Australia's past.
There are points where I missed dialog because of the Australian accent or because it was covered up by the music or sound, the latter may have been the fault of the theater sound system. I wasn't alone. We're still not sure what Nicole Kidman's last line was.
I hope when they show it on network TV in the US that they do it over a couple of nights. It's good enough and long enough that it deserves it. It would have benefited here from an intermission if American theaters still did that kind of thing.
