Unmissable. Just see it.

Every now and then a movie comes up that makes you both cry and feel warm inside. This is such a movie. Sal is a young man with Down syndrome who on learning that his single mother is about to die goes on a search for his never met before father. The movie is filled with wonderful characters, many somewhat flawed but all essentially good, kind, caring human beings. Gerard O'Dwyer who plays Sal is just perfect. John Jarratt, who plays the father and is also the writer, director and co-producer of this gem has pitched it perfectly. The Sydney Australia settings are perfect for a film which will have universal appeal though probably best heard in its original Australian English version rather than dubbed into any other language as Gerard's acting must be appreciated in its full power. A cynical viewer might quibble that What about Sal is too sickly sweet and unrealistically optimistic about humanity. If you only want gun fights, car chases and nude scenes this movie is not for you. But if you want something to warm your heart while gentle tears well up then this movie delivers in spades.
