RTThe Age (Australia)Nov 12, 2009

An uneasy blend of whimsy with elements that are deliberately harsh or humdrum.

RTSydney Morning HeraldNov 11, 2009

David Caesar, in his fifth feature, captures something real about the lives of these people. It has a nice brittle quality, a sort of sad and melancholy truth.

Road movie is a truckin' waste of energy.

RTFILMINK (Australia)Nov 11, 2009

Ambitious, colourful and jolting film, which succeeds on the back of its winning performances and strain of magic realism.
