It's impossible not to be touched by the innocence and vitality of these youngsters, and by the dedication of their teacher. Go to Full Review Luke Buckmaster Guardian 04/14/2016

You get a feel for Wide Open Road pretty quick: it's sweet, slight and good-natured to the core. Hardly riveting or must-watch material but equally difficult to hate. Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 04/14/2016
4/5
