While some of the content of the film was not something I enjoy watching, there were two things that I did enjoy. The first was the slower, unrushed pace at which the story unfolded. Many times you were left to absorb the characters and situations without the writers feeling the need to fill up the silence (both words and movement). The second aspect I enjoyed *very* much was the photography. I have not seen a film with such fabulous photography in many a while. Certainly the Australian outback is a lovely creature but seemingly almost every frame was beautifully composed as well as displaying very rich and striking colours or -- when in not in the sunny outdoors -- tonal contrast. In addition, many of the camera movements added to the feeling of the story rather than be a distraction as in so many movies. The photography was such that I actively looked for the director of it in the credits, which thing I rarely do.
