Three Summers (2017)

"The film is worth seeing for Waters, giving a spirited portrayal of a loving father set in his ways... and Breeds as his lively, talented, worldly wise daughter."

"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."

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

"[Ben Elton's] warm, well-intentioned feature ultimately proves broad and blunt."

"Ben Elton affectionately skewers the Wide Brown Land in Three Summers, which delivers some wicked one-liners despite a heavy-handed message."

"A bad movie like this just provides a convenient argument to stay away from local fare until further notice."

"...uses the microcosm of a WA folk festival to pick at the scabs of Australia's political climate..."
