‘"I love it. Really clever and visually ravishing and tells a great story.”‘

‘“I can't recommend this movie highly enough... It's moving, profound, comprehensive and thought provoking… The film exceeded my expectations. The early footage is as beguiling as could be imagined, the single fin surfing sings. The allure of Nias still holds decades after Lovett and his pals first laid eyes on that palm-fringed marvel… Coley has done a magnificent job of weaving so many disparate threads into such an entertaining whole. It marks the beginning of a reckoning, long overdue, about the impacts of surf tourism on our nearest neighbour. Go see this film.”‘

‘It's much more than just the story of Nias, it's the story of the rapid growth of surfing, and how that impacts great waves in remote locales. Point of Change is thoroughly entertaining, but also a social study that we can learn from. A lot happens! The malaria, the mystery of Ingrid, the tsunami, etc. It's a singular story, and also a microcosm of so many of these surf tourism destinations. The graphics were excellent. And that big swell!‘

‘The film takes you into an entirely different culture and community then elevates the significance of this modern cautionary tale through its connection with Kevin Lovett. Point of Change isn’t just any documentary—it’s a captivating, dramatic feature that draws you in with its unique storytelling. Committee statement.‘

‘Point of Change is a powerful and unique film that spoke strongly to our audience. An adventure through surfing history which also carries a universal message which reasonates well after you've seen it. —‘
