★★★★ “Absorbing period drama. Wilson builds an intensely thoughtful space to contemplate mental health.” - GUARDIAN ★★★★ “One of the best Australian films I’ve seen in a long, long time.” - SUBCULTURE ​​​​ ​​​★★★★ “A really beautiful, poetic film." – JOY FM  ​​ ​​“Engaging, fully dimensional characters exploring significant social issues.” – NME   ★★★★★ “Little Tornadoes is a piece of art, where everything contributes to the spectacle, in a remarkable feast for the eyes and ears.” – GABRIEL ARATA, SEGMENTO “Director Aaron Wilson has crafted a sensitive story about love, love and yearning. Little Tornadoes is a fine Australian film that unfolds with conviction.” – THE BLURB   “I love this depiction of a small town swept up in change.” – LARISSA BEHRENDT, ABC SCREEN SHOW  “An emotionally soaring story co-written by Christos Tsiolkas about dislocation and the migrant experience.” – SBS MOVIES   “Has a tremendous power that creeps up on the viewer. Little Tornadoes is a deeply personal film with a strong emotional pull.” – FILMINK “Wilson handles this quietly touching material with a deft hand, with the little mixed-race community providing a convincing backdrop to the small-scale drama." – DAVID STRATTON   ​​★★★★ “Tension is a beautiful word to describe this movie. A moving and elegantly made Australia made film.” – POPCORN PODCAST  ​​ ★★★★ “Silvia Colloca is magnetic as the Italian who comes into his life to help around the house, teasing open the long-bolted corners of his interior life. Her monologues sing with Tsiolkas’ particular insights and rhythm, and Wilson’s deft eye and ear for how a film should look, sound and feel help this intimate tale of turbulent times soar.” – STEPHEN RUSSELL, AEU NEWS   ★★★★ “A searing pain from the past cuts deep into the present.” – SCREENHUB   ​​​​“In its portrayal of two women who choose to vanish from a town, Little Tornadoes offers a subtle inversion of the colonial myth of the bush as treacherous labyrinth and the town as sanctuary.” – METRO MAGAZINE ★★★★ "As the troubled, tortured Leo, Mark Leonard Winter brings the quiet intensity that has become his signature. It contrasts nicely to the upbeat beats of Colloca’s life-loving Maria." – JIM SCHEMBRI  ★★★★1/2 “Little Tornadoes is a small film which packs a punch with themes of male depression. A theme that continues to resonate in society." – A SLIVER OF FILM  ​​ “A fabulous film that pushes a lot of buttons." – RICHARD WILKINS, TODAY  “As much as Little Tornadoes is about two generations of Australian men, it is also about the transformative power that immigration has had on Australian culture and society in ways that Australia did not just simply benefit from, but possibly needed in order for the county's collective soul to survive." – THOMAS CALDWELL, ABC RADIO​ “Little Tornadoes is a film put together with love, and an attention to detail. Very Australian, very rural, very working class. It’s a difficult, emotional watch, and will break your heart in the best way." – ACCESS REEL “The story explores that love lies not only in intimate relationships but rather everywhere, whether that be between grandparents and grandchildren, just two friends from work, or between a person and the place they choose to call home. This film displays love as a universally joyous thing." – CATALYST
