Trailer Review Quotes

"The trailer has just been released for Baz Luhrmann's movie Australia, and this one looks good!"—Hollyscoop³

"Mr. Luhrman is a man who likes to take his time, I'm guessing – because if seven years between films isn't "taking your time" I'm not sure what is. Well wait no longer Baz fans – the Australia trailer is here and if it doesn't exactly blow you away with flying green fairies and indoor trapeze acts it certainly contains enough of Luhrman's distinct visual flair to whet your appetite for the film."—Collider⁴
