The West Australian
Mark Naglazas "ORANGES AND SUNSHINE"
"Played with just the right balance of swagger and sensitivity by the wonderful Wenham, who builds a lovely rapport with the more serious-minded Margaret, Len is one of those classic characters whose spirit infuses an entire movie, making what might have been a bit of a drudge into a celebration of survival in the face of unthinkable abuse."

The Sun-Herald
Edd Gibbs "ORANGES AND SUNSHINE"
"Wenham, as Len, is in fresher waters, masterfully straddling an awkwardly fine line between the tough-exterior male and the deeply wounded lost soul with nowhere left to go."

Julie Rigg "ORANGES AND SUNSHINE"
"Here Len unfolds his story, and his ultimate revenge on the adults who used and cheated so many children. It was here I began to understand another kind of emotional damage. When the going gets tough, the tough don't necessarily survive intact."

The Age
Jake Wilson "ORANGES AND SUNSHINE"
"But thanks to the talents of Watson and Wenham, Margaret's bond with Len is the film's most charged element, an exchange where both sides have something to offer."
