SCREEN: Upright review + Tim Minchin interview 

Upright is definitely the best thing I have seen in years. I could write pages about how good it is...just watch it. Oh...and look up some of the music.

Upright is quite outstanding - from the story development, the scenery, the metaphors, to the acting and the casting of even the smallest bit part characters - it is an absolute triumph! Congratulations Tim, the SA film corp and all involved - I agree with D Mack .... just watch it.

It's brilliant. The music, the acting. Really enjoyed it

Sitting here in America, typing with my eyes crossed out of sheer frustration. HOW CAN I SEE IT? Tim, if you're out there, while you were having a rotten 2017, you were saving my sanity. 69 days in the hospital with my mother, who was paralyzed. For 69 days, you got me through. At first I'd just listen to "Not Perfect" while she slept in the bed next to my recliner and when I was walking the halls, trying to find some coffee or food. After some time I became less self-conscious. Those hallways were becoming my hallways, and I was beginning to find secret ways to get around (like how to bypass the elevator that never worked and get to Mom's locked floor via a hidden freight elevator, and how to bypass the security system and get back in if I had to run out to the car). I was humming along good and loud by then. My hallways. I can do what I want. By the beginning of the second month, I just didn't give a damn who was listening. I was singing along, word for word, right out loud for anyone to hear. People usually smiled at me, which was nice. Maybe they were smiling at me, and maybe they were smiling at your song. Dunno. Doesn't matter. I was just singing my way all around the (fourth) hospital. By about day 55, she was awake, alert, and in physical, occupational, and swallow therapy, trying to get everything to work again. I'd sit there in my corner, singing quietly. I was quiet with Mom, but that was it. Once I was past the patients' rooms and hit my hallways it was Katie-bar-the-door. My hallways. My voice. Your song. I'm not perfect, but I'm fine. You kept telling me that, and somehow, I believed you. On day 69 my 78 year old mother walked out of the hospital (the fifth one) on her own two feet. She kept going because I wouldn't let her stop. I kept going because of you didn't let me stop. She's 80 now, and isn't perfect. But she's fine. I pass around every Tim Minchin video, movie, and musical I can find to all my friends and acquaintances like... like a puppy at a primary school. I love you a hell of a lot, Tim. I love your mind, I love your music, I love your voice, I love your humor, and I love your generosity. Even your hair is... growing on me? You teach me stuff, and amazingly, I learn it! And you're just a pipsqueak at 44. Don't you dare take your toys and go home. Take your toys, go home, hang out for a while, be a genius, and then grab some of the toys and come back around with them. Often. And bring the fam. I hope, if you ever have the opportunity to read this, you'll know I'm not blowing "You can do it!" sunshine up your skirt. Ya can't make this shit up. What I'm telling you is that your work matters. It has changed one life and, as a result, had a literal and huge part in saving another one. And in America, no less! Did you get that? One song, one piano, one Tim, one concept, one connection with a complete stranger, and one git of hope and assurance. And no shoes. Now send me the damned DVD.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU EVEN PRETEND TO GIVE A RATING AND YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FULL 8 EPISODES? THEY'RE 30 MINUTES! The greatness of the show comes in the last 3 episodes, knobs, the both of ya.

Episode two, when he jumps up on the piano with the biker. Fucking amazing, love it, ive watched the series, but that moment keeps bringing me back.

I would love to watch this!

This box set just dropped on uk tv . Not sure how to explain it but I really enjoyed it , the lil girl made me laugh n its simple but enjoyable , would love a series 2 but impossible because the story was complete

Milly Alcock is the greatest! She has 1000 different miens / face expressions and emotions! This film proves again that most Australian films are great! So much better and deeper than US films!

Loved it. Some silly bits in it to skip but overall hit the heart notes. Very Very Australian down to the flies. Would watch again and shared my review. Its a good watch.

Best product out of this crazy country for some time !

I want to watch this series in Denmark, how can I do that??

Are these 2 robot critics from the future or the past?

Jeepers. Who gives a bent banana damn what two 80 something year old extinct dinosaurs think ? You're a big country, Australia, with many millions of people, surely you can find some people that are still alive to do a review. And maybe think about someone who fits in the demographic of the most likely viewers, rather than their great grandparents.
