Luke Buckmaster Guardian This is not a subtle film -- some scenes made my face react not like I’d consumed a delicious, nourishing sauce but like I’d wolfed down a brick-sized block of artery-clogging cheese. Rated: 2/5 Nov 30, 2024 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Seasoned players such as Hugo Weaving and Kieran Darcy-Smith do their part in restoring balance where needed. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Stephen A. Russell ScreenHub They take Kelly’s gloriously plot-dense lyrics ... and breathe big screen life into them ... With a stacked cast this magnificent, led by Henshall and Weaving, you’ll feel all the feelings. Nov 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Susan S So bad - dreadful script heavy on clumsy messaging - really disliked this movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Michael S This movie kept us attentive and had a worthwhile and positive message. Down to earth and moving. Definitely worth watching! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Phil L I enjoyed it. The film extends cleverly from the original song and stays true to its spirit. An ensemble piece, the film presents a believable set of characters and their predicament. Some nice smaller parts - namely the next door neighbour, the priest and the bus driver! Themes are developed which recognise the complexity of family (& other) relationships and the damage that can result. Not perfect, but captures the feel (and frustration) evident in the song. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Michael V How to Make Gravy is a 2024 Australian drama film directed by Nick Waterman 🏠 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😉 It’s ok, but I feel mixed about this one 😉 I’d recommend it if you like this genre, but if not then probably give it a miss 👍🏼👎🏼 There are a few tender and emotional moments here but slow pace and the loss of momentum in the final section results in a lacklustre and somewhat disappointing movie given the love for this song… Prisoner Joe writes a letter to his brother Dan about wanting to be with family at Christmas, lamenting how he can't make the gravy for the roast and how much he misses everyone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Matt F Excellent film. As usual, the critics can’t get out of they’re own bums long enough to watch and appreciate it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review J Z Brilliant movie but definitely not a happy Christmas movie. They did a great job at bringing the song to life and made an amazing story that tugs at the heart strings while navigating topics like family trauma and violence. If you grew up in an unstable situation the movie may hit a bit close to home but absolutely worth a watch for the beautiful story it tells. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
