  1. A breathtaking story of defiance and triumph that has to be considered one of the year's most sublime films.
  2. 100
    I love Rabbit-Proof Fence as drama, as protest, as moviemaking and as poetry.
  3. Kenneth Branagh overplays his portrayal of Neville, but most of the other characters are skillfully acted by a solid cast, including the great Aborigine actor David Gulpilil as the tracker. In all, this is a watchable movie that's not quite the memorable experience it might have been.
