Some Happy Day

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.

Such a moving story told simply and beautifully. Cinematography is beautiful, acting is flawless and will leave you feeling all sorts of emotions for days.

Could not love this more.

This is such an important Australian story. I wish it could to be shown to every politician and aired at every school in Australia. It's an incredibly sensitive, nuanced and insightful account of the life of a homeiess woman, with a stunning performance by Peta Brady who brings a quiet sense of dignity and humanity to her character. I was so impressed to learn that both Peta and director Catherine Hill have worked in homeiess social services. It's clear that the film has been made with a lot of heart, generosity, compassion and insight. I hope it gets wide distribution and all the accolades it deserves.

Some Happy Day provides a realistic portrayal of urban homelessness set in the Australian inner city suburb of St Kilda.

Against a backdrop of some of Australia's most popular tourist sites, the story of a homeless woman, Tina, is set against those around her. Some are seeking the best for her while others may not.

This is such an important story as it lays bare the reality of many homeless people who still have capacity, hopes and dreams - but for a variety of reasons can never break the cycle.

Some Happy Day succeeds in its realism through the perspective of the case worker, Frances, who must walk an incredibly sensitive tightrope.

A great movie that hopefully will make a real difference.

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.
