Critic Reviews for Rabbit-Proof Fence
All Critics (142) | Top Critics (30) | Fresh (124) | Rotten (18) | DVD (10)
[Director Phillip] Noyce shows their awful, eventually uplifting journey without flinching, and the arid Australian wilderness is a co-star of the film.
Noyce trusts the power of the story to move us. He knows that, like the girls themselves, we'll find our way along Rabbit-Proof Fence.
It certainly has its moving moments.
Searing dramatization of a story of remarkable courage, stamina and spirit.
Many movies claim to illuminate the human spirit, but Rabbit-Proof Fence actually delivers.
Essentially, Noyce just wants to tell a good story, which he does.
Audience Reviews for Rabbit-Proof Fence
Kenneth Branagh is a compelling villain, and some of the cinematography is great but there simply isn't enough plot to carry this true-story drama to the finish line with full attention in tow.
Super Reviewer
Rabbit-Proof Fence is visually stunning, well-acted film telling of the racism by the British against the Aboriginal peoples of Australia in the 1930's. It's an emotional, heart-breaking jouney enhanced by a haunting and beautiful score by Peter Gabriel.
Super Reviewer
A powerful true story revealing a time in Australian history known as "The Stolen Nation". A gutsy focus on one family and their courage to evade their government forced destinies. Great perforrmances all around.

Rabbit-Proof Fence Quotes
| A.O. Neville: | Just because people have Neolithic tools, Inspector, doesn't mean they have Neolithic minds. |
| Molly Craig: | They make me sick, these people, they make me sick. |
| A.O. Neville: | Half-caste children have been gathered up and brought here to give them the benefit of everything our culture has to offer. For if we are to fit and train such children for the future, they cannot be left as they are, and in spite of himself, the native must be helped. |
| A.O. Neville: | If only they would understand what we are trying to do for them. |
