Wasikowska plays this wordless wanderer just right. That is, she makes her real.

What emerges here is a woman of remarkable strength, and a movie that doesn't sugarcoat the dark side of her journey ...

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.

[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.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe

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.
