1 - 10 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticA gem of a film: a wonderfully observed snapshot that canvasses the emotional pulse of a family in the suburbs. It's the slant with which Watt affectionately embraces her characters that make it so engaging.
08/05/09
Top CriticA year without sex is actually one of the lesser challenges that Watt tackles, with stout heart and a rich instinct for human comedy.
05/29/09
Top CriticWatt strives to cram a great deal into a small space, but her special triumph is that the strain never shows. My Year Without Sex stands as the most accomplished Australian film so far this year.
05/29/09
Top CriticWhile there are occasions where the film appears to be going nowhere in particular, the undeniable believability of the characters makes the wait for a return to relevance simply whiz by.
05/27/09
Top CriticWhile My Year Without Sex tackles life and potential death issues head on, it is, put simply, bloody funny.
05/26/09
Top CriticThere’s a lovely assurance to Sarah Watt’s screenplay and direction, she knows her characters well and her affection shows.
05/26/09
Top CriticFunny, moving, tense and entertaining, it's a strong follow-up to the sublime Look Both Ways.

Top Critic[Watt] is a a filmmaker to treasure.

Top CriticIt’s [the] honest, natural performances and the way most average Aussies will relate to their sorry situation that makes My Year Without Sex all worth it.
