This horrific tale is told with marvelous shadowy indirection and delicate lyricism.

TIME Magazine
Rating: 4.5/5 --
The story provides Mr. Weir with material for a kind of Australian horror-romance that recalls Nathaniel Hawthorne's preoccupation with the spiritual and moral heritage of his own New England landscape.
New York Times
Spottily effective.

Chicago Reader
...Swaddling the story in an atmosphere of eerie mysticism, Weir shuts out logic and reason in favour of cloaking the tale in swooning mysticism...

Rating: 9/10 --
Gorgeously shot and carefully paced, Weir's Hanging Rock has a dreamlike quality that sets it apart even among his fellow Australian New Wavers.

Picnic At Hanging Rock is determined to keep its secrets to itself. Yet it's as beguiling as films come.

Product Description:
When a group of schoolgirls from an elite Victorian finishing school embark on a Valentine's day excursion to an unusual outcropping of volcanic rock, four members of the party are drawn towards the summit, where they experience powerful forces of time, nature, and eroticism, and vanish into thin air. This meticulously crafted Australian film displays a remarkable sense of eerie foreboding and lush surrealist sensibility, which have earned it a rabid cult following.
