Review of Sweet Country (2018) by Dawdlingpoet — 25 Nov 2021

This is a bleak and harsh watch, with a very rural setting - a somewhat unforgiving one, you could say. There are plenty of scenes with little dialogue and when there is dialogue, most of it (not all but a lot) consists of shouting from white men towards the aborigines.

I certainly felt sorry for the natives, the way they were (badly) treated - indeed it made me feel curious to learn more about them and their culture. The cinematography is pretty impressive and overall its a good watch, so I'd recommend it on that basis, as long as your ok with subtitles, as there are quite a lot of them, due to the Aboriginal language spoken by natives.
