(Mauro Lanari) Debut with Ian Thorpe as executive producer, schematic film, irrelevant sports story, powerful teaching: if parents have caused a "processable experiential shock" (therefore nontraumatic) and if their existential path has led them to shame, remorse and an undoubted repentance, do not waste the opportunity for a reconciliation. You may regret not doing it in time.

Overall, for a directional debut from Tyson Wade Johnston, Streamline is a highly impressive Australian film. It's dramatic, touching and powerful, and I found myself engaged with this feature very early on. Performances are a major standout, with Levi Miller delivering what I feel could be his best role yet, and the film has plenty of equally impressive side performances. The audio track, while dialogue-heavy, was also great and can't be faulted. Any concerns I have were generally minor and relating to the style of filming, particularly within the first act. In the end, I was left quite speechless and felt proud of this film. Streamline deserves a gold medal and comes highly recommended.

Abrupt and forgettable, 'Streamline' sinks more than it swims. The best thing are the performances, but the characters are so one note and underdeveloped that it boggles the mind. We all know how it's going to end up and the journey is subpar. It's a slog even at 85 minutes and is predictable every step of the way. Levi Miller can't overcome a lack of words on the page to bring this one up to even watchable. The film never delves into why the kids are all so broken. Instead, the viewer gets a lot of surface and has to draw their own conclusions. The ending, while feel-good, is nonsense. A few more passes at the script would have given this a chance, but whatever will be will be. Final Score: 3.8/10

Men are made by their mistakes. It's only when you lose everything you find out who you are. You find the best part of yourself. For a directorial debut, Tyson Johnston did a solid job making a touching and investing story. The performances were all solid. And hey, there's Jason Isaacs, who did a great job even though he had little screen time. The story itself still was a bit too quick. The relationship between the estranged dad and the kids should have been explored further. Overall, it's a good drama with potential. 7.5/10

You’ll probably guess the ending seven minutes into the movie. Still, it’s well-acted, particularly by Levi Miller...

The film grows muscles as it progresses, a bit like a swimmer in training, but it's too little too late.

The Canberra Times (Australia)

What the screenplay ponders isn't what makes a champion like Thorpe. Rather, it considers what kept a teenage Thorpe and what keeps any young person pursuing a craft...

Eye for Film

This film will doubtless have some appeal to Miller’s fans, but even they are likely to find it forgettable.

Despite some occasional misfires, Johnsons feature debut nevertheless delivers a drama that goes deeper than audiences would likely have expected.
