It's Courtin-Wilson's willingness to push boundaries, to explore ways in which the troubled self can be depicted, that makes Hail so singular and striking.

Rated: 4/5

It is a tough film and I don't mind tough films but there's a relentlessness about this journey, which I found myself reacting against.

Rated: 2.5/5

What starts out as a promising drama...quickly dissolves into an ugly, unpleasant character portrait about an unrepentant brute who prefers to scream at the world rather than confront it.

Rated: 1/5

Hail is highly recommended. If you are a true film lover, you will want to see this.

Its poetic opening moments soon descend into raw, wrenching and compelling viewing.

Perhaps not a film for the faint-hearted, it is nevertheless an important entry into the Australian film landscape.

7 years later I still remember this film if asked about gripping australian realism. I'd like to see it again. My memory of the film is a wrenching experience more powerful because it plays with non-literal emotive devices
