Summary: 1970s Australia: A 200-ton blue whale washes up on a local beach and it's the biggest thing that's ever happened in the lives of the local kids. Behind closed doors, the parents of this quiet suburban cul-de-sac celebrate in their own special way... It’s a time of boxed wine, bad hair, bad styles, bad choices, but good times.

The Guardian Luke Buckmaster

Jun 20, 2019

Is this outrageous comedy sexy or revolting? Elliott proves – though this feels like the least of his achievements – that a film can be both. Read full review

Richard Kuipers

Jun 20, 2019

A cheerfully vulgar, consistently amusing and sometimes hilarious parody of life in a suburban Aussie cul-de-sac in the mid-1970s. Read full review

Harry Windsor

Jun 20, 2019

Crass, colorful and hanging together by the barest of threads. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Jun 20, 2019

The great pleasure in the picture is the way Pearce, Minogue, McMahon and the other adults hurl themselves into the vulgarity of it all. Read full review

Sarah Ward

Jun 20, 2019

An energetic, irreverent, autobiographically inspired affair filled with key swapping, children running amok and a rotting 200-tonne whale, the film proves a mixed bag but, given the era on display, its messiness always feels appropriate. Read full review

What Swinging Safari lacks in the story is made up in originality and a satisfying art direction. Read full review
