Tell us what you think about Nicole's acting
Some of the reviews have been less than complimentary towards Nicole Kidman's acting in Australia. Do you agree ?
Should Baz have cast Nicole in the role of Lady Sarah Ashley
Yes - she was great
davespeed says:
I thought she was terrific in the role.
liadakis costas says:
I am from Greece and i really admire and love AUSTRALIA,'cause takes me farther than i can dream.....escapelands,colours,viginity desert ,pacific wildness...and so much more .SO ,this film wins all the nature lovers...Nicole was very dynamic,fair...a clean Lady in the dust...a beautiful clever Lady ridding horses, a taugh Lady ...well ,I saw Nicole as i see Australia ,nice and dangerous,imagine and taught...all these opposites is the nice life +Australia too.
LIADAKIS KOSTAS says:
When a woman is indeed a real woman [femininity and honey expression]
and her body's line rambling all the time in my mind making me happy ....then i only can admire her .love her ...but the most exiting is HER EYES.
Dear Nicole please ,be strong and happy...thanks.- [Costas-Greece]
emerald125 says:
Yes, and I am really not a fan but I think she did a great job in this film
BusyQueen says:
Nicole was awesome!
No - she was terrible
says:
This film was absolutely terrible, what a bore, and it just dragged on. A complete waste of my $16, I would have been better off buying a cheap $16 bottle of wine to sit on at home. www.workyeswork.com
The Soundtrack - coming soon
We understand there is a soundtrack on the way and hopefully soon! As the film was in post-production right up until the last minute, the soundtrack is still in the process of being pieced together due to the final product finishing recording only three short weeks ago!

- Before you take others opinion see the movie and try and understand what was going on during that time for the original people involved. As people or natives of color other that White were put thru and the taking over of their country. I give the actors and director A for trying as far as Miss Kidman and Mr Hugh Jackman I love them both (Mr Russell Crowe could not do this movie justice) Mr Jackman is more rugged and Ms Kidman is what is expected of a English Women and played Lady Ashley well. The actor that played Naulla and his Grandfather were excellent in the movie. David who played Mr Fletcher was super. Like I said you have to see it to understand it. PS I bought the DVD
