  • Critic Reviews of "My Brilliant Career"

    TIME Magazine
    September 09, 2014

    This is a modest, clear sighted film, and it profits considerably from a lack of the bravura landscape photography that most directors would have used to puff up a movie set in Australia.

    Variety
    July 25, 2008

    This Australian film is a charming look at 19th-century rural days in general and the stirrings of self-realization and feminine liberation in the persona of a headstrong young girl who wants to go her own way.

    Time Out
    June 24, 2006

    The period atmosphere is evoked with careful delicacy, but the characters rarely become more than stereotypes with performances (Judy Davis excepted) to match.

    New York Times
    May 09, 2005

    My Brilliant Career marks the beginning of exactly that for both the film's daring, assured, high-spirited Australian director, Gillian Armstrong, and its rambunctious young star.

    Chicago Reader
    January 01, 2000

    The action and sentiments are familiar to the point of cliche, and there isn't much life in Gillian Armstrong's academic direction.

    Radio Times
    September 09, 2014

    Armstrong's subsequent sojourn in Hollywood never yielded a film as engaging and passionately felt as this, her brilliant feature debut.

    People Magazine
    September 09, 2014

    The continent is distant, the backdrop strange but, as American women will deduce, the problems are very familiar.

    TV Guide
    September 09, 2014

    The mise-en-scene is well composed, and the story is well told in this wonderful Australian work.

    EmanuelLevy.Com
    February 10, 2013

    This charming coming of age Australian film marks the debuts of two talented women: Director Gillian Armstrong and actress Judy Davis.

    Urban Cinefile
    November 24, 2007

    A seminal part of Australian cinema, made at the end of the 70s, when local filmmaking was no longer just a wild dream; in some ways we can see a symbolic metaphor for Australia itself in the story of strong willed Sybylla aspiring to be heard

    Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
    July 25, 2007

    A remarkably assured -- and unfailingly attractive looking -- look at the life of a young woman in 1897 Australia.

    Filmcritic.com
    June 23, 2005

    Davis is charmingly cynical in the film, and Neill's a winner, but ultimately this period piece gets so caught up in its own cleverness and wannabe shock that it comes off as trite.
