Reviews & comments
Sydney Morning Herald
pressYou can't please everyone. Gameau is at least doing what he can to talk about some big problems, in an entertaining and accessible way.
Stuff
pressExpect this uplifting and engaging documentary to become staple and popular classroom viewing over the next few years.
The Guardian
pressGameau defaults to the position of inspiring people rather than alarming or overwhelming them. You leave the film wanting more, not less, of these sorts of productions.
Hollywood Reporter
pressGameau's relentlessly cheery screen persona may grate with grouchy old cynics like me, but his noble motives and positive vibes are hard to fault.
FilmInk
press...through a self-deprecating and endearingly 'dad joke' sense of humour, this inherently-political work is kept within the realms of the personal.
