      Don Groves sbs.com.au Brotherly love is sorely tested in tough racial drama. Rated: 4/5 Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Simon Weaving Screenwize A less than subtle look at racism in Sydney through the eyes of an ex-con committed to protecting his family from the influences of drug dealers and gangs. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 20, 2009 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile The kind of film Australians should be making more often. Hats off to the entire team and to David Field for his mature and intelligent direction of this gripping and relevant drama.

      nassif b Great Australian film. Brilliant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review YourLocalAussieArab I liked it, thats all. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/22 Full Review Audience Member Apples Don't Fall Far From Trees.. Unless They Are Picked Up By Another Force & Moved To Grow Elsewhere, With Better Opportunities. There is A Lot Of Cliche Lines & Scenes Scattered Through This With Not Much Of Anything That Is Evoking Of Thoughtful Prose. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting film about racial tensions in Sydney, Australia. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Tense and relevant Australian drama about escaping stereotypes and vicious social cycles. Dealing with real issues, this film is essential viewing for local audiences. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The Combination delivers phenomenal cinematography and admirable performances, yet the story line and pacing is too simplistic. The underlying intention is admirable, and the scope of the project is brave yet, unfortunately, The Combination just misses out on becoming a local classic. With that in mind, director David Field has delivered a movie well worth remembering, and one that is deserving of a view no matter where you're from. Compared to the international film lexicon, The Combination is easily ignored. However; when absorbed against the backdrop of the modern Australian film industry's output it is an Oscar award-winning opus. I rarely exit a cinema, nor finish a DVD, without experiencing some regret at having wasted a portion of my life. The Combination helped me to appreciate those 2 hours of existence.
