Its unusual approach won't be for all viewers, but True History of the Kelly Gang takes a distinctively postmodern look at Australia's past.

Those who enjoy gritty, angry Westerns (especially those set in the Australian bush rather than along the American frontier) will find much here to their taste, none of which is in need of additional seasoning. May 8, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

There's a texture and a muck that are so tangible that they really put you in the middle of this film. You can taste it and you can smell it. April 24, 2020 | Full Review…

This is myth-making, splattered in blood, scored with an electric guitar, and enacted with such brazen bigness that you wouldn't be surprised if the cast assembled for a curtain call at the end. April 24, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

But for all its real visual flair, it's hard not to feel that the film misses something crucial about Kelly in the end - trading machismo for manhood, and sensation for true history. April 24, 2020 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Kurzel's film doesn't simply show us the shattered masculinity and class rage that fueled Kelly's infamous late 19th-century crime spree, it shoots that energy outward like sparks from a forge. April 24, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

"True History of the Kelly Gang," for its part, strikes just the right balance of scary and crazy, and it subjects both to an impressive measure of discipline. April 24, 2020 | Full Review…

Ferocious, captivating performances, an uncanny sense of mood and atmosphere that Justin Kurzel does so well, and a violent, esoteric crash into adulthood give True History of the Kelly Gang a compelling urgency. June 25, 2020 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

There are films that you admire more than you love. Justin Kurzel's film falls into that latter category. You respect its passion, even if it didn't quite hit you. June 20, 2020 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
