Cain Noble-Davies FILMINK (Australia) … an effective close-quarters depiction of a political prisoner, buoyed by its strictly interior focus and refreshing willingness to admit that, sometimes, all you can do is laugh. Rated: 16/20 Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Stephen A. Russell ScreenHub Roxburgh brings a believable weariness to Greste’s rising tension, however well managed with the painted face of professionalism. But there’s a hint of reckless bravado there. Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
