Is anybody attacking it? It is one of the most widely admired films in any list. Who or what would "attack it?
Ms Aguttre was very lovely and so was the aborigine lad.

The film was too long and much of the imagery pretty mundane. It would have made a nice short film, say 45 minutes long. I can't see why people find this film special. Perhaps they were forced to read the novel in school?

Perhaps they have good taste? Go back to your Michael Bay films, Son.
He gave you perfectly legitimate reasons for disliking the film it's not like he said it was "yucky and boring." Why would you feel the need to insult his tastes just because he disagrees with you? Roger Ebert is not god, and every viewer is entitled to his/her own opinion. "Walkabout" has its definite merits, IMO, but I'm not going to be putting it on my mental "Top 10" or even "Top 50" movie lists anytime soon. -

I think "Walkabout" is a masterpiece and Luc Roeg gave one of the most adorably natural child performances I've ever seen. Agutter was pretty good, too.
