Your mileage may vary, but for myself "The Rehearsal" delivers a good hour and a half of engagement and intrigue only to top it off with a cherry that left me asking "Really?"

This affecting story of one lad's personal and artistic growth is one of the very best acting-school films.

Cinema Scope

The film is enlivened by an uncommon depiction of young people behaving and interacting in a believable manner, and confidently builds to a (literal) showstopper ending that's both rousing and hard-won.

Mildly engaging and intriguing with a solid performance by the charismatic, underrated Kerry Fox.

Filmed in New Zealand with a Kiwi director and performers, this "Rehearsal" is "Fame" without the Hollywood glitz.

It is a film that will leave people talking, I have no doubt. Hopefully one of those discussions is about why it took Alison Maclean so long to make another film. 18 years is too long to wait.

A sensitive, thoughtful, often provocative movie that nevertheless feels like a missed opportunity.
