Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 8/10 by Tom KeoghA glum and slack family drama, Newcastle is punctuated by bright bursts of dreamy surfing images, but not enough to make the film rewarding.
Filmcritic.com - 7/10 by Don Willmotta bit like Endless Summer meets The Karate Kid
At the Movies (Australia) - 6/10 by Margaret PomeranzFor all [Newcastle's] faults, there's something honest about these characters that I responded to.
FILMINK (Australia) - 6/10 by Colin FraserAn engaging yarn buoyed by spectacular surf action. Emotional discord aside, it will strike the right note with any teenage surfie heading to the beach this summer.
The Age (Australia) - 6/10 by Jim SchembriThe story is slight but the performances are strong...
MovieTime, ABC Radio National - 6/10 by Ruth HesseyOverall, [Castle] has captured what I remember of the fantasy of the classic Newcastle adolescence -- all day at the beach, string bikinis and juicy blond teenagers.
Monsters and Critics - 5/10 by Ron WilkinsonA well meaning but ineffective coming-of-age story set on the surfing beaches of the industrial mining center of Newcastle, Australia. Mediocre action footage and tedious angst make for a film that is an effort to watch.
The Australian - 4/10 by Evan WilliamsIt is deflating to realise that even when doing what they love best, these characters are less than real.
User Review - 10/10 by John WBeautifully brilliant story with an equally brilliant cast; this movie was as refreshing as the waves crashing in on the beaches of Newcastle!!
User Review - 10/10 by Jim CThe boys, fresh from a day at the beach, wanted to watch a surfing film, and I happened to remember that I had 'Newcastle' in my Netflix streaming queue, so we watched it. I thought it was going to be an Aussie jock version of 'Blue Crush', which wouldn't have been so bad, but it was a far better film than that. If you just want eye candy, there's PLENTY of that in this film. If you want a deep meaningful relationship with a film, this one might not quite be it, but it's no teeny-bopper bubblegum flick, either. What it is is a very nicely done coming-of-age-on-an-Australian-beach-in-a-surfer-family pic. Pedestrian, yeah? Right. It has a gay subplot, a love triangle wannabe, and an angst-filled older brother who wasn't QUITE good enough to avoid working the coal docks. As seems to be the wont of good surf movies, the older brother gets angry, tries to be a bully, and ends up killing himself. But in this particular case, you just say to yourself, "Yep". Then you have a sip of your pop and move on. I don't know why I liked it as well as I do other than maybe it IS pretty dead on the money. Sometimes, you just don't really give a flying fuck if the bastard dies - especially if he was a bully. I thought the cast did a great job all around and in that Australian down-to-earth way too, which really appeals to me. And unless you're blind or have recently been castrated, you're going to LOVE the cast of surfers, especially Xavier Samuel. Yes, please, and make mine a double!
