Reception[edit]
Freya Grant of the Daily Telegraph finishes her review "Wildness has already been recognised around the country with a host of awards, including Best Documentary at the 2003 Sydney Film Festival, as well as being invited to the Melbourne and Brisbane Film Festivals. But its biggest award should be for its ability to touch audiences with its imagary and its story, which deserves to become part of Australian folklore."[4]
