The lives of five very different Australian men exploring their emotional selves. A documentary set to shine a light on and change the dialogue around masculinity and mental health today.

Paul Byrnes

Sydney Morning Herald

It's a sobering film, not least because it suggests the problem is much greater than we have acknowledged.

Rated: 3.5/5

Without ever feeling forced or intrusive the film breathes with honesty and intimacy and is clearly designed as a push-back against the stereotype men have long been lumbered with, of having to suppress their feelings and suck it up when things get tough.

Rated: 3.5/5
