Reviews
It's an incredible film, shining a strong light on an issue that often flies under the radar, which is homelessness.. I encourage everyone to go see it. This film gets inside the heart and soul of people who fine themselves living rough.
Jane Caro - Novelist, Author, Commentator
An unflinching and articulate story…. a deeply poignant drama.
James Fletcher - Filmink
Profoundly moving. Some Happy Day lays bare the underbelly of Australian lives rarely seen. It is brave and real and will have you in tears. A triumph of filmmaking. Tender, uplifting and bravely honest.
Nikki Gemmell - Author and Journalist
A painfully beautiful story of one woman telling the story of thousands.
Fiona Patten MP
It's a reminder of the interconnectedness between us as humans. There is a fine line between all being well and things coming apart at the seams. Many women are just a few pay packets away from homelessness.
Kerrie O'Brien - The AGE.
..one of the most accomplished and heartfelt independent films in recent memory.
Simon Foster - Journalist
A perfect gem of a film. It is the recommended dose of compassion and humanity for a world that often forgets the complexity and beauty of the human soul. The characters are so beautifully drawn that they will take up residence in your imagination and leave you the richer for it.
Louise Godbold - CEO Echo Training
The radiant journey of a homeless woman.
Bernard Bories, President Cinema des Antipodes
There’s a subtlety and empathy in both the story and direction that I really admire and respect. You have a small but mighty film here.
Shane Smith - Director of Programming, Hot Docs, Canada
What I really love about Some Happy Day is its tender, raw and sympathetic portrayal of the rarely seen, gritty underbelly of life on the streets in Melbourne. The pitch perfect performances of the two female protagonists, the uniqueness of their interweaving story, combined with the gorgeous cinematography make for compelling viewing. I loved it.
Denise Scott, Comedian
Emotional and thought provoking.
Carla Raynes - CEO Home Share Melbourne
It’s a wonderful little slice of life film, that is poignant and raw with a tremendous soul, made with a sensitivity only those that know the world it inhabits could realise.
Paul Ireland - Director, Pawno, Measure for Measure
Without histrionics this is a confronting tale of overlapping domestic crises in the struggle for survival and sanity on the urban fringe. It is conveyed with a documentary veracity by a superb cast and a haunting central performance. Brave, moving, memorable storytelling.
Max Gillies AM - Actor
Hidden under the rug of our cities and suburbs, the filmmakers and cast venture into the crisis in our hearts and homes (or lack of). Brave, authentic and confronting, it’s a story that needed telling.
Tim Guest, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist.
Managing Director Infinite Wealth and The Infinite Group (Filthy, Rich and Homeless)
A sensitive, gritty portrayal of the shadows we all carry and the courage it takes to find our way through.
Tim Costello AO - Director of Ethical Voice
It's uncompromising, it doesn't judge or try to sell us convenient platitudes. It feels entirely authentic.
Chris Middendorp - Manager Sacred Heart Central
A raw and captivating portrayal of the cycle of homelessness in Australia. This story illustrates the effects of unresolved trauma and how it impacts someone's future.
