A Month of Sundays

"A Month of Sundays" is so tidily plotted, so committed to its improve-thyself epiphanies, that it never transcends its own artifice."

"The good things don't quite make up for the weaknesses, and the film's rather dour tone makes it a tough sell on word of mouth."

"Situations, subplots and even barely seen characters are unified with an almost cosmic sense of fate."

"It's difficult to decide just what Saville is aiming to achieve with these characters."

"[Director Saville has] given LaPaglia a role so good that it conjures up comparisons with his terrific work in Ray Lawrence's Lantana 15 years ago."

"Contrived, occasionally credulity-snapping, even – here and there – a bit saccharine... But it is also, in its own quite unique way, a little ripper."

"Strongly written parts -- and good performances, particularly by lead actor and executive producer Anthony LaPaglia -- enliven the film's brush with the familiar."

"This modest, warmhearted character study is carried by a solid lead performance from Anthony LaPaglia, who plays a man unable to express his feelings through anything but underhanded snark."

"A quiet, tender-hearted and gently eccentric affair, the Australian-made A Month Of Sundays takes its own sweet time finding a way into your good graces."

"Looks and feels flat."
