Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald [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. Rated: 4/5 Apr 27, 2016 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald We used to make more films like this, with a brain and a heart. Saville shows that we still can. Rated: 4/5 Apr 27, 2016 Full Review David Stratton The Australian It's difficult to decide just what Saville is aiming to achieve with these characters. Rated: 2/5 Apr 22, 2016 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment A Month Of Sundays is a little bit of a letdown for all the Matthew Saville fans out there. Slow and unremarkable this is a film that I doubt that I will revisit. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Keeva Stratton Rescu (Australia) [A Month of Sundays] offers a gentle exploration of a male perspective on grief, self-worth and human connection. Rated: 3/5 Sep 15, 2017 Full Review Peter Calder New Zealand Herald The film as a whole takes a well-worn trope and invests it with an unexpected emotional power. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 21, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Feel good movie. Great to see John Clark again. AP is just laid back and cruises through the film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review 1 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Couldn’t pinpoint what held it back exactly but there was something 2.2 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/03/21 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review greg r A well thought out drama about ordinary people and life, death, and life after death. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
