Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 11/08/2017
2.5/5
It's a relentlessly well-meaning film and when it's not proselytising, it's working very hard to manufacture enough laughs to make the whole mix palatable. However, the effort shows. Go to Full Review
David Stratton The Australian 11/03/2017
3/5
The film is worth seeing for Waters, giving a spirited portrayal of a loving father set in his ways and unable to see that times are changing, and Breeds as his lively, talented, worldly wise daughter. Go to Full Review

Elton knows how to locate the laughs in his material - and he's a shameless crowdpleaser - but his emotional reach only goes skin deep. Go to Full Review

Rebecca Breeds is the star of Three Summers and the lone reason to endure it. Any other sensible justification seems scarce. Go to Full Review

04/04/2021 I loved this movie, particularly having experienced folk festivals and the quirks of the folky folks - and a great vehicle for Ben Elton to explore some of the Aussie stereotypes, and who we think we are. Fine performances from Rebecca Breed and Robert Sheehan - I liked his delivery of the Irish view of who claims Irish heritage, and other Elton lines and gags from the supporting cast. I know Morris dancers are an easy target, but Michael Caton did a good job there. See more 02/27/2021 I thoroughly enjoyed Three Summers. It deals with many of the oft not spoken of cultural social and political matters in Australia including the sending of British children to be fostered. See more julia p 07/02/2018 Charming story and pleasant way to spend 90 mins watching the interplay and changing relationships between characters revisiting the same music festival on three consecutive summers.... See more 06/22/2018 I think the critics are quite harsh with this. Ben Elton explores the Australia landscape through the festival experience. Characters include the PC police, the self righteous, the over thinkers, the want to be seen to do the right thing and the I take myself way too serious. Despite it , this movie takes us to a place that makes us feel like just having a break from the political climate and having a beer and a dance. I will not be surprised if scenes from this movie weave there way into the future context of Australian pop culture See more 03/29/2018 For a light-hearted feel-good movie, this is great. I put it in with my top three Australian comedies along with the castle and the dish. Ben Elton did a great job writing it. See more 01/06/2018 really funny aussie comedy See more Read all reviews
