"Delilah and the petrol-sniffing Samson are two young people living in a 'no exit' of a town in Central Australia. After the death of Delilah’s grandmother, they flee to the nearest town...Spare, unsentimental, devastating, gorgeous and very smart, this is the breakout of a major new talent: a richly inventive film obviously made from deep experience. Its theme of redemption—here wholly earned—is rooted in modern aboriginal life but as universal as Bresson or Dostoevsky." - Milos Stehlik, Telluride Film Festival

Director Warwick Thornton in person for a Q&A with Rosen Rosen!

Winner of the Camera d'Or, 2009 Cannes Film Festival

"A meticulous portrayal of the chaotic existence endured by two Aboriginal teens on an Outback reserve, Samson & Delilah is an engrossing and touching snapshot of an Australia too often left on the cutting-room floor." -Russell Edwards, VARIETY
“conjures up an all-but-wordless beauty that leaves one haunted and horrified in equal measure." -Joe Morgenstern, WALL STREET JOURNAL
