Set against the badlands of Australia where the English rule with a bloody fist and the Irish endure, Ned Kelly discovers he comes from a line of Irish rebels — an uncompromising army of cross dressing bandits immortalised for terrorising their oppressors back in Ireland. Fuelled by the unfair arrest of his mother, Kelly recruits a wild bunch of warriors to plot one of the most audacious attacks of anarchy and rebellion the country has ever seen.

Refreshing production design for a Colonial Oz flick. Cast - particularly the two Neds - do great. Good screenplay (facts be damed!).

This is Revenant level amazing. Munich level amazing. Public enemies level amazing. Watch this movie. Tell your friends about this movie.

A whimsical and sprawling rebuke of masculinity that is tonally dark and gritty, but written with sharp nuance to indicate its intent.

Brilliant retelling of the Kelly Gang legend. Beautifully shot and artfully directed. Very well done.

So looked forward to it and so disappointed. Carey's book is not anachronistic artsy blather but a raw real Kelly that we didn't get here.

Very beautiful film (but not in the typical way) will take you through a journey of emotions

A visual marvel. Very stylish and very beautiful. Great performances. The story is where this falls apart for me. Both rushed and slow..

All over the shop which is disappointing because the performances are solid.

Disjointed and lacks cohesion in its story telling. It ultimately makes it hard to follow and you lose interest in the characters

Way way too long, plot goes nowhere. Looks very cool though, fair play to the costume designer
