Wenlei Ma News.com.au True Spirit has its flaws, but there is value in its earnest belief in the human spirit. Rated: 3/5 Feb 6, 2023 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Give credit to Spillane for making sure that this movie isn’t just about the heartwarming highs, but about the hard work it took to reach them. Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Luke Buckmaster Guardian It’s impossible to predict how any title will fare on the streaming platform, but I’ll be surprised if this one isn’t quickly lost in the algorithms. Rated: 1/5 Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Pallavi Keswani The Hindu A potentially inspiring tale that struggles to stay afloat. Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz It's a decent film of an exceptionally inspiring event. Recommended. Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Structuring the film by days at sea, skipping 20 or more days at a time, and parallel editing her time on the boat with her family's life back home, keeps the pace of the story moving at an entertaining clip. Rated: 4/5 Feb 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Tayyaba E It's entirely unrealistic and very disappointing. I think movies should strive for more realism at least. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Jai G As an Australian, this story was told very similarly from what i remember it being as a child. Obviously with a bit of extra hollywood esque magic sprinkled in. The acting was not bad considering it is an Aussie film, and the main character playing Jess felt perfect for the role. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review John A Both inspiring and entertaining Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Tristan W Great Movie, feel good, inspirational great pacing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Frank M All said and done it's a watchable film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Scott V Best movie I've seen in a long time! Excellent movie for any age to see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
