In his review, The Hollywood Reporter‘s film critic David Rooney was gushing in his praise of those first two episodes, describing Narrow Road as “big, bold and strikingly cinematic.” “Based on the first 90 minutes, The Narrow Road to the Deep North has potential to stand alongside films like Peter Weir...

Australian star Jacob Elordi shared some insights into his creative process and passion for acting during a brief stop on Saturday in Berlin, Germany for the world premiere of his upcoming period series The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

“I have no real interest in making movies for the sake of entertainment or for making money,” Elordi said. “There’s a feeling that I get — that everyone gets, I think — when you watch a film and I call it cinema. When you experience cinema and you’re in a room and it does that thing to you — that kind of profound, unnameable thing that moves you and confirms you on this planet in this life — that’s what I chase, I guess, as a performer. I want to be a part of that. Usually, it stems from the filmmaker. So I’m really just a super fan who’s following his heart.

The 26-year-old Saltburn actor and Odessa Young star in the Australian original drama series The Narrow Road to the Deep North, which is based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Richard Flanagan.
