Feel good movie. Great to see John Clark again. AP is just laid back and cruises through the film.

Ok. So this is not what I would call a great film. It is a soft comedy padding real issues of death, dementia and broken relationships. So it's a poignant film that is easy to watch but still leaves an indelible mark. Worth watching for so many people.

Couldn’t pinpoint what held it back exactly but there was something 2.2

As the Herald Sun reviewer has already said, this graceful movie "takes its own sweet time finding a way into your good graces. However, once there, it will not be budged". So very Australian in so many ways. I loved it. Highly recommended to movie lovers who are willing to sit with quiet, still moments while waiting for the humanity to reveal itself.

A well thought out drama about ordinary people and life, death, and life after death.

A Month of Sundays I felt kinda like I was watching a novel that traveled very slowly and you ended up nowhere. If there is a book read it instead it would be better. Anthony Lapaglia has been in better flicks this I felt was a chance for him to do a small Aussie flick. All about a man's journey to finding himself and helping others coming to terms that his job is not his entire life. This is not my cup of tea. John Clarke plays in this as well he is the guy that always does the political skit and plays ministers and pokes fun at them.

[Director Saville has] given LaPaglia a role so good that it conjures up comparisons with his terrific work in Ray Lawrence's Lantana 15 years ago.

We used to make more films like this, with a brain and a heart. Saville shows that we still can.

It's difficult to decide just what Saville is aiming to achieve with these characters.

The film as a whole takes a well-worn trope and invests it with an unexpected emotional power.

Beautifully mounted, subtle, touching and bitter-sweet comedy drama... a thoughtful, moving, leisurely paced tale about loss and moving on.
