Paper Planes

"It’s tempting to describe Paper Planes as a journey back to the good old days. When we made simple movies for a simpler time. In fact, that is half right. Paper Planes does harken back to a period not long ago when Australasian movies seemingly all focused on putting entertainment first, recognising that “high quality” and “high brow” are in fact entirely different phrases. The part that’s false is the simpler time - these films work just as well today, as Paper Planes gleefully proves."

"Rousing and heartwarming family film in which winning, losing and family are everything."

"Parents are likely to find it a welcome reprieve from dancing penguins, cuddly safari animals and merchandise tie-ins."

"It's a simple premise but rich in subtext, delivering a pointed message to the generation responsible for Australia's future."

"Be prepared to tap your reserves of goodwill to overlook its flaws."

"A winsome feel-good tale that pushes all the right buttons, though seldom gently."
