Some Happy Day

A really compelling and watchable drama about such an important and topical subject in Australia (let alone globally). Some Happy Day has some incredible performances, is wonderfully shot and is underpinned by a great soundtrack. Its great to see Australian talent manifest in such an important body of work. Film making in Australia continues to come of age - thoroughly recommended!

This was so powerful. I can't stop thinking about this film. It's opened my eyes and left me feeling so much more empathy and heartbreak for people that don't have a home. If you don't know what it's like first hand, it's given me an incredible insight into the lives of people who are sleeping rough. Set in Melbourne and Daylesford, it really hits hard. It's a very emotional film that has been beautifully made. I highly recommend that everyone should watch this and share it as much as you can so that more people start the conversation about what we can all do to help make some changes to this situation we have right here in Australia.

A beautifully shot, authentic and powerful film about homelessness in Australia. Peta Brady's performance is outstanding. This is a compassionate film which reminds us that people don't chose to be without a home and that people can continue to move forward with resilience and determination, against the odds. This is an important film that will make a difference to how people think about homelessness and disadvantage in this country.

I was fortuitous to see Some Happy Day at the magnificent Classic Cinema last night. I absolutely loved it, and can't stop thinking about this film and it's reality. I admired the parallel stories and the music was outstanding. This movie has to get a bigger release to enable all Melbornian's/Australian's to have the opportunity to watch, and to feel empathy and understanding and to take action to incite change with homelessness.

I often walk those streets in St. Kilda, eat at those cafes, watch the buskers, walk to that popular beach and the surrounds. Most people wouldn't know what goes on, but this movie alerts us all to the fact that we have to do more to support homeless people, not only with adequate housing, but with everything that matters in life. Thank you to Catherine and Abe and the whole team that brought this movie into our lives. A huge thank you to all the workers at the Crisis Centre - what amazing people!

I was very proud of Peter George and JMC Academy's involvement. So many people were involved in the making. Congratulations to all of you.

The Q&A after the movie was inspiring. Thank you, brilliantly filmed and portrayed.

Moving film which doesn't patronise it's audience. The way it's shot feels soft and gentle which is stark against the tough subject matter. Peta Brady's performance is excellent, I felt empathy and understanding for her character and a deeper understanding of the circumstances around chronic homelessness.
