Miranda and her friends similarly dreamily wandered off into an Australian landscape and vanished but this movie is far less captivating than that, clearly trying but failing at being a new enduring Australian bush mystery of the mystic Picnic at Hanging Rock variety but also failing in its attempts at gritty Australian neo-noir realism of the, say, Mystery Road variety, because although Nicole Kidman is captivating, nothing else is remotely interesting in this dreary, unrewarding story of a promiscuous teen and her brother who are removed from the face of the red Australian earth by a duststorm.
