Movie Reviews

Backseat Mafia - 8/10 by Rob AldamA fascinating, educational, lively and fitting portrait of a lovable cinephile.

Time Out Sydney - 8/10 by Nick DentThe best scenes reteam him with Margaret Pomeranz, as they recount highlights from their 28-year on-screen partnership. Their easy chemistry is a reminder of what we've lost.

Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Stephen DaltonA Cinematic Life ultimately serves as a comprehensive and absorbing primer on a century of Australian cinema.

Sydney Morning Herald - 8/10 by Sandra HallA who's who of Australian stars and directors have come out to talk about their work while discussing his. Most regard him with respect and affection but there are a couple of naysayers.

The Age (Australia) - 7/10 by Jake WilsonSally Aitken's new documentary leaves no doubt that Stratton has always been a man of intense feeling, even if this feeling is mediated through an obsessive relationship with cinema.

Daily Telegraph (Australia) - 6/10 by Vicky RoachA poignant tribute to a national living treasure.

Film Inquiry - 5/10 by Alex LinesWhilst some may compare it to Ebert's biography Life Itself, David Stratton: A Cinematic Life provides an authentically fond look at Australia's most popular film critic.

Concrete Playground - 4/10 by Sarah WardThe kind of film the man himself would likely give several stars and probably more.

User Review - 8/10 by Kay DI just saw this film at The Randwick Ritz and the crowd clapped at the end. I loved the film. It was like walking down Memory lane holding David's hand. I loved that he really gets" The Castle" . Kay

User Review - 8/10 by Joel ANot the most immaculate documentary put together but in my opinion a nice tribute to one of our greatest critics & his love affair for Australian Cinema. The film details two areas Stratton's Life & the films he believes that shaped our Nation. I found the film very fascinating but then again I am truly bias being an Aussie. A terrific visual essay of some of our greatest films & gives insight to all David Stratton had done for cinema culture Australia Wide.
