Something is Missing

The period drama Australia has all the elements to warm the cockles of one’s heart – the widow duly wronged reaches out to the cowboy knight in shining armour and the child with no identity. The child does not quite come across as aborigine, Hugh Jackman is too suave to be the perfect cowboy, and Nicole Kidman – well, the fact is that she looked better as a prim and proper English lady than a cowgirl. The movie is worth a watch but misses making an indelible impression in your mind or anything close to that
