Dennison once again brings his signature warmth, humor, and pathos for a singular and deeply affecting performance.

Dennison is exceptional as a boy discovering where and how to get engaged in activism. Driver's mother is a frustrating character, but she gets moments to shine. Overall this loose adaptation of real events is enjoyable and, sadly, extremely prescient

James Rolleston and Driver are both as good as you’d expect as Josh’s brother and mum, respectively, and Mark Mitchinson brings the exact right level of conservative authority as the school’s principal.

Committed performances bring a warmth and conviction to this heartfelt Kiwi coming-of-age tale, which finds nuance and poignancy beneath its nostalgic surface quirks.
