Great Australian surf movie filmed in Margaret River WA
You needn’t be shy about seeing Drift if you have little background knowledge in surfing. Riding on the highs and lows of three brothers’ lives and a few mediocre moments in between, the film is largely based on their obsession with surfing.
However, the plot doesn’t really thicken whilst in the water; more so on land, with the oldest brother’s idea to sell surf gear to surfers.

The new Aussie Surf drama that is quite honestly & well made film & quite an interesting story.
Starts off with some lush b&w photography & transitions at the perfect time to colour. More or less the story of two Sydney Brothers who move to WA & begin to develop a love of surfing.
It then delves into their pursuit of making surf into a career. Full of strong performances especially Sam Worthington as the beach bum.
It flows well & is an interesting story, one if the better surf films around recently.
I really enjoyed this Aussie flick 🙂
A pleasant trip back to the 1970s. I enjoyed this Aussie movie more than expected. Great acting and locations. D
I’m Bias Of Course Given I Love To Surf & I’m Aussie.. But, This Is A Good Drama, Backdropped Against Early-Days Of The Surf Culture. It Gets A Bit Cheesy At The End But It Still Is Alright For A Surf Flick.
I actually thought this was great. Being Australian, I like to support the Australian film industry and this one of the better ones I’ve seen in a while. A really fun, at times dramatic, surf film.
Much better then I expected
Started out ok then turned into a kids movie. The ending is so lame!
Definitely a 4 star movie, plus it is a true story. I was totally immersed in the storyline; at no time did I feel like an observer. Fabulous Aussie scenery & photography.
Boring! Turned it off
Exceeded my expectations. Entertaining……..but kind of mindless movie, you need those now and then.
Kind of like ‘Home and Away’ but the water scenes made up for it
Great surfing, cinematography and a beautifully shot opening sequence. Suffers from some corny hair (even for the decade) and corny scenes. Worth a look just for the surfing.
The Brotherhood of Surf..
Fantastic film. The surfing is incredible, but the real story is the relationship between the Kelly brothers. Great film all around
Unreal! Drift is that rare film that combines epic surf action with an awesome story and killer actors. Five stars!
This australian film is set in 1970s the idea of using surfing is nice but it gets stuck with cliches of brothers fighting, shrewd loan guy wanting to take the mortgaged property, struggling to set up business etc. The film could have been lot more better than what it is now. But still not that bad film.
I highly recommend this film! A dear friend of mine produced it and I saw it at the NY premiere – then rented it AGAIN on VOD (cable). The film received outstanding reviews from Australian critics and audiences during it’s 2 month plus cinema run. Great surfing scenes (and I’m not a surfer…) and really entertaining. It comes out in select US theaters August 2.
Great acting. Likeable characters. Captivating storyline and development.

What’s not to love about surf movies and Australia!
Great story, well acted and directed!
The Kellies are not exactly the most revolutionary surf characters worth dedicating a whole feature-length movie on.
My Favorite Film Is 1941’s Citizen Kane.
Writer and co-director Morgan O’Neill based Drift on true surfer stories from the era; however, the movie mostly comes across as a grab bag of tired tropes.
really good to watch
The first hour is a little slow and I almost stopped it a few times, but the ending was great and I am very glad that I stuck with it.
Hyvän tuulen elokuva, mutta kehno surffausversio Lords of Dogtownista. Hienot maisemat, mutta elokuvana varsin kehno.
Great to be ‘on the road’ again and in Australia! East coast Brazil in the 70s was wild and I met many JBs….just really cool to watch how it unfolded in Aussie West Cost.
A not complex movie with pretty pictures
Visible que pour les plans de surf, magnifiques.
A movie that is very slow moving almost the whole time but the ending is very good…..surfing fans will really like this….
Belle histoire et bien interprĂ©tĂ©. Mais sans plus…
This poor-surfers-make-good drama from Morgan O’Neill and Ben Nott relies more than it should on toned thighs and taut gluteals. Be grateful; there’s nothing to see on dry land that’s anywhere near as compelling. good bio-pic based in truth
Big wednesday was at another level, that’s sure, but this one is quite enjoyable anyway; maybe another leading actor should have been better, but it’s ok.
A pleasant trip back to the 1970s. I enjoyed this Aussie surfing movie more than expected. Great acting and locations.
Drift is ok drama about two brothers that take on some big waves, and getting involved with drug dealer that putting heroin in surfboards. based on true story in Australia in
70s. B-
BasĂ© sur l’histoire des frères Kelly et les dĂ©buts du surf en Australie dans les annĂ©es 1970. Bonne rĂ©alisation et bon jeu d’acteurs. A voir principalement pour les amateurs du sport
I was very saddened to read the terrible critic reviews the opinions of these dried up husks should be disregarded at all costs. A classic Australian movie was so good I was confused as to why I had not heard about it. Yes it was predictable and formulaic but I found myself genuinely gripped at its points of tension. It was top immersive storytelling and great fun.
Not too bad, good Aussie film.
The movie critics obviously never tried to start a small business. This movie explores the central issue of when and how to fund growth of a business started from passion. The script was a bit formulaic, but camera work and casting was good enough.
If you like surfing movie really great movie
This movie was a bit all over the place. It was part surf movie with some great visuals, part family drama, part drug scene hippie lifestyle, part underdog story, with a small part of love story to round things out. The movie was entertaining enough for one watch, but it is not something I could recommend to people.
This was a fun movie, the actors were engaging, and the surfing shots were neat to see. It’s definitely worth a watch!
It’s better than people give it credit for this movie is an amazing look at the 70s surf culture of g land (Australia) it is engaging with a great story soundtrack it’s a great film
The critics had it wrong on this one. Very good drama with strong acting and beautiful waves. My wife liked it even!
Interesting and entertaining surf movie, with decent performances and some really good surf footage. It is not overly original, but it works for what it is.
Some excellent surf footage!
This movie was great! If you go in expecting a surfing movie, you might be a little bit offset, but the main theme of 2 brothers managing their own surf shop stays true to itself.
7.5 out of 10, good surfer flick.
Great Australian surf movie
let’s hear it for crappy hair extensions and bad writing. the surfing scenes were cool but this was no Point Break. gosh this reminded me of what great movie Point Break was.
Two Brothers. One Dream. No Rules.
Very Good Film! Drift is the latest surf film paying tribute to and giving us a glimpse into the Australian surf life when popular surf brands were just beginning. The acting is fine all round. Myles Pollard, who also co-produced the film, is solid as the responsible older brother. Xavier Samuel, in one of his best performances, brings charisma and energy to his role. Sam Worthington is excellent. He is perfect as the free-spirited hippie. He seemed to enjoy this role more than some of his recent work and it was wonderful to see him in an Aussie film again. The film does a great job of bringing the 70’s back to life. You gotta love JB’s colourful bus and the classic kombi vans! The surfing photography is exciting and breathtaking, and the cinematography by Geoffrey Hall is simply beautiful. The soundtrack, a mix of 70’s classics and more recent tunes, really adds to the cool laid back vibe. The cast and crew looked like they had fun making this film and it shows. A snapshot into the Aussie surf life, it was a highly enjoyable and upbeat movie experience.
In the 70s two brothers battle killer waves, conservative society and ruthless bikers to kick-start the modern surf industry.
I read the poor reviews but watched it anyway – better than expected, even enjoyed it. Yes, a lot of it could have been developed a lot more, but enough there with interesting characters to be worth watching.
Look like Australia does make some good movie I just think a lot of us are missing them. Really great movie from start to finish pretty cool to watch the surfing and there is a lot more going on but set in a great backdrop of Australia.
I enjoyed this movie. A nice tale based on a true story.
A great story of family experiencing the struggles of a hard life, yet choosing to make it work… Better yet, choosing their passions and dreams, allowing them to create opportunities from them and not the other way around. It’s a great feel good movie. A classic surfers collection, along with Mavericks and In Gods Hands. Enjoy the ride.
Smooth although rather corny.
Quite good actually, really enjoy watching them surf, some shots are fantastic.
Fair enough, average and satisfactory. 2.5 Stars mate!
Nothing particular the movie, the best scenes were by far the surfing ones.
I loved this movie. It was very interesting, kept moving well throughout and was a nice escape from the usual hum drum of my life. I love the sea and waves, this was a movie for me.
Great Aussie movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
