Critic Reviews
-
Jim Schembri, 3AW
Director Richard Gray (Summer Coda) has his hands full trying to do justice to the story's moral minefield while putting in enough slo-mo footy action...Regrettably, this results in a well-meaning muddle of a film.
-
Simon Weaving, Screenwize
This story of AFL, mateship and sex scandal is let down by a clunky screenplay and some misguided morality despite the presence of Jack Thompson and an enthusiastic cast of talented young Australian actors.
-
David 'Mad Dog' Bradley, Rip It Up
What's meant to be ploddingly glum drama ostensibly about Aussie Rules footy proves to be a humourless study of forgiveness, redemption and so forth, with plenty of agonising along the way.
-
Luke Buckmaster, Crikey
Did the cast and crew honestly think viewers would want to chant "win, rapist, win!"?
-
Don Groves, sbs.com.au
Australian footy-themed melodrama fumbles, kicks few goals.
