Leave your thoughts about Galore.
| The Age (Australia)Philippa HawkerWhat's distinctive about Galore, however, is not an invocation of the past but the evocation of the present, the here and now: the tactile immediacy and intense tunnel vision of adolescence. |
| LimelightLynden BarberRhys Graham's meaninglessly titled directorial debut, the Canberra-set Galore, is almost pure pastiche. |
| The AustralianDavid StrattonEither the sound recording was not up to the mark or the diction of the actresses was woeful, because apart from the overused F-word, very little else that was said was decipherable. |
| Impulse GamerDamien StrakerI am not sure who the film was aiming to please. Older audiences might feel detached from this youth culture and younger people will find the film structurally loose, dull and drawn-out like I did. |
| Concrete PlaygroundTom CliftAn earnest and technically confident piece of filmmaking but noticeably lacking in stakes |
| User ReviewJustin GAwesome movie that captures the spirit of place and time of the Australian capital leading up to the bushfires. |
