Down Under Reviews
Guardian
Luke Buckmaster
Down Under's humour can be a little one note (xenophobic idiot and/or agitated party does something stupid, repeat) but there are a number of laugh-out-loud moments and the cast and crew do a uniformly strong job executing a difficult premise.
Sydney Morning Herald
Sandra Hall
There's plenty of zesty slapstick, along with a relentless torrent of four-letter words in all cases and conjugations.
The Australian
David Stratton
The film falls short because it falls between two stools: as a reminder of a shameful period in our recent history it's too interested in finding cheap laughs, and as a comedy it's just too painful and ugly.
The New Daily (Australia)
Stephen A. Russell
Hard to watch at times, that's the point of a comedy trying to expose a thorny topic still dividing Australia, an approach we could use a lot more of.
One Room With A View
Joni Blyth
With a gut-punch ending that is sure to leave an impression, and a flurry of belly-laugh moments along the way, this movie is a must-see.
3AW
Jim Schembri
Writer/director Abe Forsythe does a fine job balancing his cast of dim-witted racist caricatures with moments of poignancy and some very well-judged laughs.
Starburst
Peter Turner
If this film is anything to go by, [Australians] are living with exactly the same racial tensions and dealing with the same level of ignorance as we are. But it's a lot bloody easier to laugh about it when it's 10,000 miles away.
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
[M]ocks the hypocrisy of those who decry diversity while enjoying it... and dings the toxic masculinity that drives men to prove themselves with rage and violence. It's all almost too dark to be outright hilarious, but it certainly is bleakly droll.
ABC Radio (Australia)
Matthew Toomey
Complete with a few unexpected soundtrack choices, Down Under packs a strong emotional punch and asks us to take a good, hard look at ourselves.
Daily Telegraph (Australia)
Vicky Roach
Down Under is too ugly to be funny.
sbs.com.au
Amal Awad
The film has its strengths, but empathetic characters are not one of them.
Impulse Gamer
Damien Straker
The failure here isn't from unpacking a troubling historical moment with humour. It's the erratic switches in the tone that confuse the film's mood and intentions.
Herald Sun (Australia)
Leigh Paatsch
After drawing serious thematic heat from its arresting opening, Down Under loses temperature slowly, frustratingly and wastefully.
Film Mafia
CJ Johnson
Forsythe has an extremely disciplined schematic in mind, and sticks to his guns. The final act has great power ... His script has integrity and his direction is sure-footed and consistent. He may hold his characters in contempt, but never his audience.
Urban Cinefile
Andrew L. Urban
There are far too few moments of wit and far too many stretches of raucous swearing, and it's difficult to get even black comedy working in such a negative and crude environment as these characters find themselves in
Urban Cinefile
Louise Keller
The comic elements sit rather uncomfortably next to the graphic violence, so the film does not play as funnily as it is probably intended
4:3
Dominic Barlow
The ensuing black comedy, violence and commentary are about as elucidating as a left-wing Facebook meme.
FILMINK (Australia)
Erin Free
Thought provoking and profoundly hilarious...
Junkee
Tom Clift
It's one of the savviest Australian comedies in years. Which isn't to say that it isn't also incredibly stupid, because it most definitely is. And that's the entire point.
Graffiti With Punctuation
Blake Howard
Somehow a dark comedy about the Cronulla Riots, despite one's knee jerk rejection to that premise, is precisely what the Australian cinematic landscape needs.
