Mad Bastards

Mad Bastards was one of the best film I have seen about relation between father/son, a mesmerizing film set in a remote, ghost town in the outback where there is still hope to reform a man and other individuals full of demons, alcohol lack of ambition, loss of cultural value. There is so much in that film. lovely soundtrack, talented actors who have never acted before, the raw beauty of the Australian scenery and a fabulous photography. TJ and Granpa Tex are both amazing. Such force (hence the title) but also vulnerability! You could not detach your eyes from the actors who had so much character. the boy was such a natural actor, you felt like taken him home and give him a normal upbringing. How can you resist Uncle Black and his gentleness and would love to see more uncle Johnny taking trouble kids to the country to straight them out. I could go on and on. Thank you for such brilliance.

A very well made movie. Great insight into life in outback Australia and just life its self. Good acting, interesting characters great soundtrack, fantastic cinematography, well directed.. I would give it a 10 out of 10 but it's not for everyone. Some will find it slow, non Aussies and city slickers may not understand it.

I've always love Australian dramas with a big bright red outback settings.

Beautiful story and a well made movie, everyone did their part fantastically well.
