Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk The film's heart is in the right place but it never rises above the level of a polemical melodrama. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Young Leyva has a smile that lights up the screen, but the film makes the mistake of depicting several of the characters as though they were villains from some lesser movie. That the film overcomes this approach is testament to its essential spirit. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 16, 2014 Full Review Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) Any Day Now is a movie of good intentions and bad wigs, warm-hearted but slightly oversimplified. Rated: 3/5 Apr 9, 2014 Full Review Steve Cruz OUT FRONT Magazine (Denver) Less-skilled filmmakers might have gone overboard with forced emotion, plot contraptions and flat characters, but director and co-writer Travis Fine has crafted a deeply moving piece that feels rooted. May 9, 2023 Full Review Rita Cannon Battleship Pretension ...as slight as the story is, Any Day Now proves that Matt Jay knows how to set a mood and it's one that should resonate with anyone who's ever felt uneasy in a new place. Mar 16, 2021 Full Review Alexander Ryll Gay Essential Through a number of fortunate coincidences actor and writer Travis Fine got his hands on a screenplay called Any Day Now which was written in 1980 by George Arthur Bloom, who was inspired by true events to write this script.

isla s This is a well made drama about an interesting true story. I thought the performances were good and its relatively thought provoking - the discrimination faced by the couple is frustrating and I can certainly imagine it having happened. It is somewhat sentimental - some people may feel its a bit too cheesy for their liking but I wouldn't say its entirely over the top in a forced sentimentality sense. Its sobering and thoughtful and there's also some amusing moments. I thought it was a relatively solid watch with a good story and so I'd recommend it on that basis. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member awesome little indy-I really liked this but warning very sad ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Needed a higher wig budget. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A very flat story with a cast that just didn't feel right to me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member it needs a lot of work but appreciated effort. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 30 mins in,I don't like its tone...and I just cant watch any more...I couldn't get past grubby Alan C looking like Margeret Hamilton wearing a cheap wig...he most definitely does not make a convincing drag queen...and Garrett Dillahunt,who's hair also looked suspect...put me in mind of an axe wielding serial killer for some reason...just creepy.
