Going Walkabout: Lucky Miles

A review of Michael James Rowland's Lucky Miles, a film that focuses on three illegal immigrants left stranded by people smugglers on a lonely stretch of the West Australian coast. The film is ostensibly a road movie, but reviewer Dave Hoskin sees it as part of a new genre he dubs 'walkabout' movies. He also discusses the pros and cons of the film's stripped back approach to characterisation.
