Not so sweet


Sweet Country (2017)

Directed by Warwick Thornton this film stars Hamilton Morris, Sam Neill and Bryan Brown. In 1920s Australia an Aboriginal farmworker kills a white farmer in self defence and goes on the run.

Nothing is very original or surprising in this tale of Australian racism with the framing of a western. Despite the lack of originality this is still a well told story apart from an excessive use of flash forwards inserts to foreshadow the future. Well acted and with some nice scenery this is a decent watch.

3/5
