Stephen Romei The Australian 03/13/2015
2/5
A film with serious potential marred by a reliance on cliche and a desire to make people happy. Go to Full Review
Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) 05/11/2018
1.5/5
Not so much a feature film as a therapy session where the star is acting as both patient and psychiatrist, Manny Lewis is a distinctly flat experience. Go to Full Review
Jim Schembri 3AW 03/20/2015
0.5/5
Absolutely terrible...Unfunny, aimless and largely pointless, you'd be better off listening to five minutes of any Carl Barron routine than submitting yourself to yet another Australian feature film that apparently had no audience in mind. Go to Full Review
Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) 03/17/2015
Carl Barron's brand of moody introspection and manufactured romance is unlikely to connect with old fans or win over many new ones. Go to Full Review
Sarah Ward Trespass 03/12/2015
The incessant talk that continues from start to finish might just be the movie's strongpoint -- and given how clumsy and contrived it is, that's saying something. Go to Full Review
Peter Galvin sbs.com.au 03/12/2015
3/5
It's often funny, episodic and threatens to go to dark places before settling into something that's sweet and wholesome. Go to Full Review

Daniel C 04/16/2024 Brilliant movie, great script, refectory performances, insightful, quirky, emotional and confronting. Must see… See more brendan n 04/07/2019 Carl Barron is a good actor, but the film is a little over the top and can't be salvaged by the romantic love story subplot. The first half of this film is incredible and I couldn't understand the bad reviews, but in the later half this film sank incredibly fast. The performances are not the issue, it's the story beats and forced narrative. Barron should star in more films, he is no slouch at the dramatic parts of the film. This could have a been a great film had the filmmakers improved parts of the overall story. 07/04/2019 See more 12/24/2018 I liked this film, Carl is funny whilst being somewhat serious. Critics have been to up their own asses looking down on this film and they're wrong about it. See more 12/09/2018 Excellent little movie, those who are bagging this film are totally missing the point. See more 01/06/2018 For a comedy film, jokes seem to be few and far between. There also seems to be a lack of stakes here. The story is interesting enough to hold one's attention throughout, but never really becomes exciting. It has a couple of touching moments, though. On the whole, I'd say it's worth checking out if you're in the mood for something really simple. See more 05/24/2016 A really enjoyable film. See more Read all reviews
