This film draws viewers in from the start with intriguing characters, and maintains interest via the impressive storytelling and humorous moments throughout, making this production a joy to watch. The theatrical style of acting suits the movie well. Despite the numerous funny portions the film examines many aspects of humanity, personalities and relationships - I found myself drawn back to think about the movie the following day. A very interesting and enjoyable movie to watch.

Being Gavin is an simply outstanding movie. The writing, the acting, the directing - everything is done with balance and a light touch. Often movies like this can devolve into slapstick, become morose or create disconnections from reality for the audience. The writers, actors and director Owen Elliott do not let that happen here.

Really an enjoyable movie that manages to be funny, heartbreaking and hopeful all in one story. Hollywood... take notes!

This is a cinematic classic! Showing why Australia has a reputation for great movies! Excellent story, great casting and amazing directing. Showing the world you can make a classic without CGI. Relying on great story telling and accomplished actors, Being Gavin is a must see. To quote another great Aussie film.., this is one for the pool room! Love love love it!
