As bleak, dusty, dry and dour as the Australian vistas it frames, The Rover is a depressingly angsty look at the world post economic collapse for two people who've lost everything. More harrowing than a zombie apocalypse and made more interesting by never fully explaining itself, The Rover is dark and depressing, with an undercurrent of bubbling anger that is only sparingly released. When everything finally clicks into place, you'll still come away hollow, but you'll probably never forget the journey that it takes you on.
I thought this was a nice change of pace from the crap I have seen coming out of Hollywood the last couple of years.
All this over a rusty car?
Another great performance from Guy Pierce. Great movie.
Quietly ferocious movie. Just the way I like 'em. Michod's use of music, and sound in general, and especially the absence of it, continues to fascinate me. Amazing performances all around. LOVED IT.
