I'm glad it's getting some love down under. The release scheme there was bizarre. I hope people are finding the film now.

Hollywood Reporter coverage:

Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson are among the acting nominees

Predestination, the Spierig Brothers' critically lauded sci-fi thriller starring Ethan Hawke, heads the nominations list for the fourth edition of the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards. It got nine nominations.

Predestination is nominated in the best film, best lead actress, best direction, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography, best editing, best original sound, best production design and best costume design categories.

Russell Crowe's directorial debut The Water Diviner, which just had its world premiere in Sydney, got eight nominations including for best film and best actor for Crowe, although he missed out on a director nom. The other performances in The Water Diviner also went down with the AACTA, with Jacqueline McKenzie picking up a best supporting actress nomination and Yilmaz Erdogan getting a best supporting actor notice.

David Michod's dystopian drama The Rover, starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson, picked up seven nominations, including for best film, best actor for Pearce, best supporting actor for Pattinson and best director.

Australia's foreign-language Oscar nominee Charlie's Country made a strong showing with nominations for best film, best director and best actor for David Gulpilil.

Made Playlist's Top 20 Films of 2014 list:

20. “The Rover”

If one takes “The Rover” on its own methodical, minimalist terms—an existentialist fable that burrows deep into the moralism of its corrupted, barren landscape—it’s hard to deny that writer/director David Michod’s sophomore effort wholly accomplishes what it sets out to do. Stripping away all narrative complexity to the point of abstraction, the character study really breathes, but in such a completely different way to Michod's triumphant last feature "Animal Kingdom," that after just two features and a few shorts, Michod has us convinced he's the real deal.

Featuring a stunningly grizzled, grimy lead performance by Guy Pearce, easily one of our favorite working actors, and an impressive turn from Robert Pattinson who is growing as a performer with every film, it's a movie pulsates beneath the surface, and in the long silences between dialogue and outbursts of violence. And it’s starkly beautiful to look at, and to listen to, eschewing revelations and plot twists to deliver its deceptively simple story through mood, tone and atmosphere.
