Somersault

"An exercise in film-school pretense, 'Somersault' prettifies the ugliness of a girl’s sexual experience after she leaves her mother’s nest (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"The performances are uniformly good in an unilluminating way and the film is presumably intended as an antidote to the false bonhomie of life in 'Neighbours's Ramsey Street." 

"Absorbing and brave filmmaking, 'Somersault' will throw you (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"While there’s no denying that 'Somersault' is different and visually impressive enough to make an impact, it’s also so wrapped up in its own theory and imagery that it ends up as cold as the ski resort in which it is set (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Shortland successfully transfers Heidi’s instability and inquisitiveness to the cold landscape around her"
