It's a now rare species of mystery film. One based more on establishing mood than coming up with far out twists.

Australia's most famous mystery movie is a great exercise in atmosphere and suspense. Modern audiences might be frustrated by its refusal to deliver a proper explanation for the eerie disappearance at the heart of the story. Instead, it's a layered exploration of gender, class, and social norms in turn-of-the-century Australia.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. What a charming movie. 87/100

Mystery about the unexplained disappearance of three girls in 1900s Australia. Beautiful photography, wonderful music, good performances. Gives an uneasiness without trying hard. Unsolved mystery unless you search Internet and find the lost last chapter of the book, which ruined the effect the film had on me. A good film and worth a watch.

Ethereal and eerie, Picnic at Hanging Rock uses spectacular visuals and lyrical music to tell its story. Like the best mysteries, the film doesn't give a clear answer, instead leaving the viewer to form their own conclusions. Masterful.
