Has great comedy mixed with the drama and an outstanding performance from the brilliant Gerard O'Dwyer. Written directed and starring the legendary John Jarratt he shines here in a well written film that has plenty to offer for everyone. The Great Peter Hehir is back on the screen after a break from movies and is brilliant. A touching film that will have you laughing and crying. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/25 Full Review Vee K Absolutely loved this film! "What About Sal" is a brutally honest take on addiction, family, disability, and responsibility, and it's truly a breath of fresh air. It's so refreshing to see real stories being told, especially with that unique Aussie humour woven throughout. The film tackles heavy themes but does so with a light touch, making it accessible and relatable. One of the standout features is that Gerard O’Dwyer, who has Down Syndrome, plays the lead role. It’s fantastic to see someone with real-life experience representing characters authentically. Gerard brings such a genuine warmth and charisma to the film, making Sal a character you can’t help but root for. Bravo to the team for creating something so meaningful and entertaining!
