Emu Runner

A powerful touching feel good Story that achieves so much.

The cast are great young Leads steal the show, With Wayne Blair and Rob Carlton doing top notch work. Beautifully told story.

An Australian family film with heart.

Everything about this Australian movie pleased me. Wayne Blair is a favourite actor, and all the nonprofessional actors were remarkable, especially the young lead.

The close ups of the emus, goannas, and expansive native bush were so lovingly and almost meditatively done, it elicited wonder and tenderness in my urban heart.

The soundtrack was excellent, subtly enhancing the unfolding of the story line. I felt uplifted and hopeful at the end, and brimming with gratitude for this wonderful country I call home.

I found this film by chance and am so pleased I did. It is my intention now to find other work by this sensitive, talented filmmaker!

Really enjoyed this movie.... Well done to the director cast and crew..... fantastic to see the Indigenous Australians be put up in lights and show their remarkable culture .....

Charming little film that takes a family's loss and a young girl coming to terms with it in her own way , following an emu she thinks holds her mothers spirit.

Well made beautiful touching story

Emu Runner is a beautiful movie with its heart absolutely in the right place. The writer/director has set the film in the real outback NSW town of Brewarrina and I read that many of the townspeople were involved in the making of it, having small parts etc. The father is played by actor/director Wayne Blair and he is terrific; you can see how much his family means to him. Many of the other actors are non-professional and do very well with their roles; some of the young ones have amazing presence. The story is of a bereaved young Aboriginal girl in a small town who finds solace in interacting with an emu. Her character and the depiction of the town, its people and landscape is captivating and I found the movie very enjoyable.
