2.5/4
The acting is quite good, natural and fresh, and the surfing footage is magnificent. "Drift," though, is a weird mix, and not always successful. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Aug 2, 2013
2.5/5
This 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. Go to Full Review
Lou Lumenick New York Post Aug 2, 2013
2/4
I'm a sucker for films with great surfing footage, let alone wacky '70s hairstyles. But this overlong, clich-infested Aussie period drama tested my patience. Go to Full Review
Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) May 23, 2016
3/5
The surfing scenes are exhilarating, the waves more terrifying than anything Eli Roth or James Wan could come up with. Go to Full Review
Simon Brookfield We Got This Covered Aug 4, 2013
6/10
As 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, clich and messy drama is not. Go to Full Review
Don Groves Film Journal International Aug 1, 2013
The surfing sequences are impressively filmed, but on dry land the unexciting narrative plods along to a predictable conclusion. Go to Full Review
