Pawno

"In the vein of Kevin Smith’s Clerks and Wayne Wang’s Smoke, and worthy to sit in their company, even if some gags clunk and one of the colourful figures on show – a Vietnamese restaurant owner – is cringingly stereotypical."

"It’s good on everyday Australianisms and laidback comedy but limited characterisation and unsubtle telegraphing don’t help this day-in-the-life drama revolving around a Melbourne pawn shop."

"An outstanding example of contemporary independent Australian cinema."
