"...The ultimate fish-out-of-water comedy..." - Recommended
Premiere "...In this roaringly comic and powerfully affecting road movie, Terence Stamp gives one of the year's best performances..."
Rolling Stone "...The outfits, extravagant confections of satin and lace, galvanise the film..."
Sight and Sound "...Enough to shake the kookaburras right out of the trees....[Old-fashioned] in its own outrageous, convention-flouting way..."
New York Times "...Stamp is wonderfully subtle as Bernadette -- a triumph of less being so much more." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly "...An amazing star turn by Terence Stamp....Also excellent are Weaving...and Pearce..."
Variety "...The film settles into the rhythms of many road pictures, with lot of drive-by scenery, soul-searching talks during camp outs on the road, and dicey encounters with the locals..."
Chicago Sun-Times "[The film] still has exuberance to spare..." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] sparkly, sequined road movie..."
