CRITICS OF "My Brilliant Career"

Urban Cinefile

A seminal part of Australian cinema, made at the end of the 70s, when local filmmaking was no longer just a wild dream; in some ways we can see a symbolic metaphor for Australia itself in the story of strong willed Sybylla aspiring to be heard

November 24, 2007

Variety

This Australian film is a charming look at 19th-century rural days in general and the stirrings of self-realization and feminine liberation in the persona of a headstrong young girl who wants to go her own way.

July 25, 2008

Resource

People Magazine

The continent is distant, the backdrop strange but, as American women will deduce, the problems are very familiar.

September 09, 2014

Resource

Radio Times

Armstrong's subsequent sojourn in Hollywood never yielded a film as engaging and passionately felt as this, her brilliant feature debut.

September 09, 2014

EmanuelLevy.Com

This charming coming of age Australian film marks the debuts of two talented women: Director Gillian Armstrong and actress Judy Davis.

February 10, 2013

TV Guide

The mise-en-scene is well composed, and the story is well told in this wonderful Australian work.

September 09, 2014

Resource

Filmcritic.com

Davis is charmingly cynical in the film, and Neill's a winner, but ultimately this period piece gets so caught up in its own cleverness and wannabe shock that it comes off as trite.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

A remarkably assured -- and unfailingly attractive looking -- look at the life of a young woman in 1897 Australia.

July 25, 2007

Resource

Chicago Reader

The action and sentiments are familiar to the point of cliche, and there isn't much life in Gillian Armstrong's academic direction.

January 01, 2000

Resource

TIME Magazine

This is a modest, clear sighted film, and it profits considerably from a lack of the bravura landscape photography that most directors would have used to puff up a movie set in Australia.

September 09, 2014

Resource

Time Out

The period atmosphere is evoked with careful delicacy, but the characters rarely become more than stereotypes with performances (Judy Davis excepted) to match.

June 24, 2006

New York Times

My Brilliant Career marks the beginning of exactly that for both the film's daring, assured, high-spirited Australian director, Gillian Armstrong, and its rambunctious young star.
