Wolfram

Warwick Thornton follows up his acclaimed Sweet Country from 2017 with the immersive and moving outback western Wolfram.

A pair of Aboriginal siblings negotiate the punishing and violence-soaked terrain of 1930s Australia. After they break free from their white masters who forced them into child labour in mines, the children flee across the vast desert ‘sweet country’ of Central Australia, relying on each other as they search for safety, family, and a way home.

"One of the film’s greatest strengths is its look and feel. That’s perhaps unsurprising, since Thornton once more acts as his own DP." — Catherine Bray, Variety
