3.5/5
The narrative isn't always easy to follow for the uninitiated, but despite this the film impresses and Aaron Pedersen is painfully effective as a homeless man whose life is in ruins. Go to Full Review
Christos Tsiolkas The Saturday Paper Aug 19, 2026
There is a thrilling charge watching Page’s debut directorial feature film, Spear, and in no small way this exhilaration has to do with watching the assertive performances of the dancers on screen. Go to Full Review

Anakin L Feb 25, 2017 A challenging & non linear film about an aboriginal youngster growing up homeless on the Sydney Streets & coming into connection with his old traditional ways & being in a modern world. Filled largely with striking visuals & interpretive dance this was very much an Arthouse Film that will appeal to highly creative or indigenous types. Hard to follow but necessary for some audiences, approach with caution. See more
