A high-minded film that at times verges on didacticism, The Tracker is redeemed by its adherence to a simple yet distinctive approach to storytelling and its uniformly strong acting.

Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times
Fresh

An imposing film that tackles a serious theme with dignity and even audacity and that features production values of the highest quality.

David Stratton, Variety
Fresh

An engrossing study of race and history in Australia.

Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly

See the film mainly for the quiet and powerful work of Gulpilil in the title role.

Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

As the scorned but ever-resourceful guide, Gulpilil has the richest role and makes the most of it.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
