Ocean Boy

Luke Hemsworth’s range is a revelation. This is exactly the type of film that allows him to showcase those talents.

Luke Hemsworth plays Bosch, the father. He does a superb job of making this man seem real -- so much so I wish he did more roles like this.

I thought I could no longer be surprised by this film’s cheesiness. I was wrong.

Bosch & Rockit is one of the best Australian films of the year, thanks to the fantastic and moving work of Luke Hemsworth and Ramus King in the titular roles.

Don’t go into this breezy misadventure expecting Animal Kingdom. It feels much more like a low-key stoner movie than the latest gritty dispatch of Australian yeah-noir

The depths in its two central performances can't completely sweep aside the film's well-worn storyline, but the feature's sincerity goes a long way.

Flaccidly directed with absolutely no sense of tension or direction by first-timer Tyler Atkins, the film is a tonally sibilant mess, its stuttered pacing and disjointed rhythm suggesting the screenplay might have done with a few more passes.

Bittersweet and dreamy, this duo’s journey is one that showcases a universal truth, even if it has been conducted for personal, reflective reasons.

… a story with heart that fails, despite its best efforts, to really catch the wave.
