3/5
The overall feel is one of a film engaged in a constant process of finding itself. Corr's oddly engaging performance is the glue that binds it together. Go to Full Review Mel Campbell Metro Magazine (AU) 06/30/2023
Below is both a conduit for cathartic politicised humour and a commentary on Australia’s regressive asylum policies. Go to Full Review Travis Johnson The Curb 07/01/2021

Below rides a depressing wave of relevancy, shouting at you to sit, stay, watch and listen. Go to Full Review Paul Kelman FILMINK (Australia) 12/05/2020
Lahooti's film, while bleak, shines a light on Australia's moral compass and when those ethics are questioned, we're left with a glimmer of hope. Go to Full Review CJ Johnson Film Mafia 12/04/2020
3.5/5
