“The production is a high point in Mitchell’s career. And it’s not the only one.”
“Mitchell and his team capture the Doll’s enduring portrait of an Australia whose time was nearly up — masculine supremacy, class-based customs and even cherished links between city and country folk would yield as an insular nation met global change.”
