      David Stratton The Australian Overall, Slam is very impressive: it tells an important story in a convincing and enthralling way. Rated: 4/5 Oct 19, 2019 Full Review Richard Kuipers Variety For all its social and political subtext, "Slam" always stays firmly on track as a propulsive and engrossing thriller. Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald [Director Partho Sen-Gupta]'s a confident talent with a finely tuned instinct for the mechanics of plot and character. There's a lot going on in this film and although the conclusion it reaches is pretty predictable, the trajectory it takes is not. Rated: 4/5 Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It works as both a thriller and a thought-provoking social conscious film. Rated: B Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW Without descending into hysterics writer/director Partho Sen-Gupta does a fine job detailing how promptly fear and suspicion can be coaxed used to promote an official agenda. It's a strong-minded, subdued film that bravely confronts the politics of grief. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 17, 2019 Full Review Julian Wood FILMINK (Australia) ...engaging drama-thriller. Rated: 16/20 Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
