REVIEWS

Simon Miraudo PAGE TURNER – TIM WINTON’S THE TURNING REVIEW (2013)
"Finally, there's Wenham’s sparse, evocative Commission, wherein Vic (Josh McConville) seeks out the alcoholic Bob (Hugo Weaving), who has exiled himself to the bush. Though he faces stern competition, Weaving steals the whole show with his thoughtful, contemplative, haunted performance."

Nick Brodie THE TURNING (2013)
"The promotional material doesn’t lie: this really is a special event."
