      Audience Member One of the funniest, quirky films to come out of Australia for years. Had me laughing out loud so many times I had to rewind so I didn't miss a thing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Robert K This movie was good for Wagga Wagga Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/21 Full Review Audience Member A classic window into Australian love if AFL, with overtones 'the castle'. Loved it!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Very Australian humour. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Aussie humour and drama. At times laughing out loud. Other times feeling the pathos deeply Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Good fun movie, well-acted and a good, but simple enough plot. I'm not big into footy, but I thought it was a great portrayal of country Australia and a classic under-dog tale. Great for families Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Luke Buckmaster Guardian It's not mountain-moving stuff, but nor is it devoid of care and consideration. The Merger is well made play-to-the-bleacher-seats entertainment. Rated: 3/5 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Matthew Pejkovic Matt's Movie Reviews Succeeds as a personable and entertaining social comedy playing from the left-field. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 24, 2018 Full Review Blake Howard Graffiti With Punctuation Just as Australia's current coalition government nominated Scott Morrison as their leader; a man who has a boat-shaped sculpture in his office that proclaims "I stopped these"; a movie embracing humanity like "The Merger" is right on time. Rated: 3/5 Nov 10, 2018 Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW There's no question the film, directed with careful attention not to offend by Mark Grentell, has its heart in the right place as the film bounces around the idea of accepting people of other lands into the community. If only the film was funnier. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Sarah Ward ArtsHub A by-the-numbers affair brightened up by palatable packaging and palpable passion - and with ample charm in its crowd-pleasing vibe and its cause. Rated: 3/5 Sep 24, 2018 Full Review Alex Lines Film Inquiry This is the Full Monty for the Footy field. Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
