Reviews


100
Variety - Guy Lodge
Lithe and volatile and recklessly stylized to the hilt, True History of the Kelly Gang has moves like Jagger, but a head still teeming with language and history.
90
The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
The Robin Hood-like renegade hero of the Antipodean common man, Ned Kelly gets a ripping reinvention in director Justin Kurzel's feverish punk Western, a raw rebel yell of a movie that combines visceral violence with a kind of delirious, scrappy poetry.
85
TheWrap - Steve Pond
There is a terrible majesty to the landscape and to the story, and Kurzel gives it room to breathe.
83
The A.V. Club - A.A. Dowd
It’s refreshing to discover that True History has an actual perspective on the events of Ned’s formative years.

The Playlist - Charles Bramesco
Kurzel’s prismatic view of Kelly’s life and times goes to gnarlier and more vivid places than superficially similar period pieces.
