Critic Reviews of "Drift"
RogerEbert.comAugust 07, 2013The acting is quite good, natural and fresh, and the surfing footage is magnificent. "Drift," though, is a weird mix, and not always successful.
New York TimesAugust 02, 2013This poor-surfers-make-good drama from Morgan O'Neill and Ben Nott relies more than it should on toned thighs and taut gluteals. Be grateful; there's nothing to see on dry land that's anywhere near as compelling.
New York PostAugust 02, 2013I'm a sucker for films with great surfing footage, let alone wacky '70s hairstyles. But this overlong, cliché-infested Aussie period drama tested my patience.
San Francisco ChronicleAugust 01, 2013Has genial moments, but they're lost in a sea of boilerplate incidents and prefab characters. Surfing sequences are easily as striking as what we see in documentaries about the sport.
Los Angeles TimesAugust 01, 2013The leads are engaging, and Pollard in particular projects an easygoing, friendly machismo. Where the movie routinely disappoints, though, is in pursuit of a perfect storm of conflict story lines ...
AV ClubAugust 01, 2013Writer and co-director Morgan O'Neill based Drift on true surfer stories from the era; however, the movie mostly comes across as a grab bag of tired tropes.
The Canberra Times (Australia)May 23, 2016The surfing scenes are exhilarating, the waves more terrifying than anything Eli Roth or James Wan could come up with.
We Got This CoveredAugust 04, 2013As has always been the case, well choreographed surf sequences are a delight to behold on the big screen, but also having always been the case, cliché and messy drama is not.
Film Journal InternationalAugust 01, 2013The surfing sequences are impressively filmed, but on dry land the unexciting narrative plods along to a predictable conclusion.
Blu-ray.comAugust 01, 2013Certainly atmospheric but depressingly predictable, Drift is more stimulating visually than dramatically.
Slant MagazineJuly 26, 2013The obstacles that the Kelly brothers encounter are as uninspired as the film's treacly lessons about brotherhood and staying true to one's principles.
Tribune News ServiceJuly 23, 2013A good-looking, if cliched, ride through early Aussie surf history
