David Stratton The Australian The narrative isn't always easy to follow for the uninitiated, but despite this the film impresses and Aaron Pedersen is painfully effective as a homeless man whose life is in ruins. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 21, 2016 Full Review Mallory Andrews Cinema Scope Spear plays out like a minimalist musical. Sep 25, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A challenging & non linear film about an aboriginal youngster growing up homeless on the Sydney Streets & coming into connection with his old traditional ways & being in a modern world. Filled largely with striking visuals & interpretive dance this was very much an Arthouse Film that will appeal to highly creative or indigenous types. Hard to follow but necessary for some audiences, approach with caution. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
