Reception

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 100% based on 4 reviews.[2]

In Time Out Stephen A Russell gives it 4 stars and states "A monument to Australia's thriving music scene, it will have you whooping with joy one minute, then fighting back the tears the next. Destined to be a cult hit, it even made this reviewer, who thought his festival-hopping days were long behind him, reconsider jumping in the back of a ute, heading to a bush doof and getting lit. That’s some achievement."[3] Writing in The Sydney Morning Herald Paul Byrnes gave it 3 stars stating "The movie has deep reserves of energy and spirit. Who cares if it lacks a little polish when it has a strong sense of life?"[4] The Guardians' Luke Buckmaster gives it a 2 star review finishing "Overt emotionalising has a way of corroding everything, turning the best of dramatic intentions (and what film isn’t well intended?) into schmaltzy goo. Young viewers will probably approach 6 Festivals wanting something fun and mildly rebellious – like drinking goon straight from the bag before sneaking into a festival – but discover a maudlin experience instead."[5]
