	Media	Author	Review
		Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"Jordan's quirky inventions form a strangely cohesive whole."
		Andrew F Peirce The Curb	"Heath Ledger and Rose Byrne’s chemistry and comfortable screen presence (...) is supported brilliantly by Gregor Jordan’s confident script and direction"
		Nick Bradshaw Time Out	"The deadpan tone intermittently hits home, but for the most part the OTT construction (...) just seems crude."
		Blake Howard Flicks	"This Australian classic is better than ever (...) 'Two Hands' is a souvenir. They don’t make them like this anymore; they can’t."
		David Parkinson Radio Times	"[The storyline] is doggedly predictable. Yet, the bank raid sequence has a pleasing knockabout quality and Ledger's attempt to seduce country girl Rose Byrne is winningly awkward (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
