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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
An imposing film that tackles a serious theme with dignity and even audacity and that features production values of the highest quality.
An engrossing study of race and history in Australia.
See the film mainly for the quiet and powerful work of Gulpilil in the title role.
As the scorned but ever-resourceful guide, Gulpilil has the richest role and makes the most of it.
