Philip Wuntch Dallas Morning News Some will find Siam Sunset too resolute in its quirkiness, but the movie offers an enjoyable ride. Rated: B- Apr 1, 2004 Full Review Claire Monk Sight & Sound Functions best as a comedy of cultural differences and prejudices. Dec 2, 2002 Full Review Ray Conlogue Globe and Mail This isn't a terrible film, just an uneven one. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Burl Burlingame Honolulu Star-Advertiser Many of the jokes are big production numbers that appear out of nowhere, and some are appallingly cruel in a brawny, slap-your-back kind of way. Rated: 3/4 Jul 5, 2011 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Nov 9, 2005 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion The failure to blend very disparate elements satisfactorily marks the movie...Parts have an oddball charm, but too much of it is either flat or unappetizing. Rated: C+ May 24, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Siam Sunset je australijska crna komedija o nekakvom Englezu (radi kao dizajner boja u nekoj firmi) kome zena pogine u vrlo bizarnoj nesreci (sto je ujedno i jedna od najboljih scena smrti EVER). Nekoliko mjeseci nakon toga na tomboli dobija desetodnevni boravak u Australiji i odlazi tamo na nagovor svog cace ne bi li se nekako oraspolozio nakon teskog gubitka. Medjutim, ispostavlja se da kompanija koja je organizovala putovanje podsjeca na nesto iz Alana Forda, a neobicne nesrece nastavljaju da se desavaju oko njega. Meni je ovo odlican film. Jes' da je u pitanju zapravo neka mjesavina drame i crne komedije, a nije urnebesna komedija kao sto bi se moglo zakljuciti iz sinopsisa, ali film je skroz zabavan, sa odlicnim glumcima i australijskim setingom koji uvijek sam po sebi donosi ogromnu kolicinu poena. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a quirky, well done movie. It's quietly funny, and smart. A decent Aussie film to chuckle through. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Les australiens nous ont habitué à des films barrés et bien ils ont remis ça. L'histoire de l'homme le plus chanceux du monde voit son entourage maudit pas la malchance. Sa femme la première morte écrasée par un frigo tombé d'un avion. La chance l'emmène en Australie et les ennuis continuent... Une commédie rafraichissante. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this movie was brilliant. Elements of road movie, black comedy and romance in the Aussie outback. Distinctive and quirky, this is a film that definitely made an impression on me. Great concept, well acted, neat story. Highly recommend. Would be up in the top of my list of favourites and must sees. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member very funny and clever Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Adorava ver de novo! Fantasporto!!!
