Hail is a 2011 Australian drama film written and directed by Amiel Courtin-Wilson, in his narrative feature debut.

[1] It features Daniel P. Jones, an ex-convict who had previously appeared in Courtin-Wilson's documentary short Cicada, and her partner Leanne Letch playing fictionalized versions of themselves.

[4] The Age's critic Philippa Hawker described the film as "singular and striking", noting it "has an extreme sense of documentary fidelity but it is intercut with a kind of hallucinatory, over-reaching, vivid excess: it's a fierce, sometimes harrowing combination of the real and the surreal, the visceral and the abstract.

"[2] Richard Kuipers wrote on Variety: "pic boasts a relatively conventional storyline peppered with heavy verbal violence, trippy visual metaphors and a cacophonous soundtrack that mark it as a strictly outre item for dedicated arthouse buffs".

[5] Film critic Megan Lehmann described the film as "dissonant and brutal, but also unexpectedly tender", "a risky piece of experimental cinema" that "melds coarse reality, extreme close-ups, nightmarish montages [...] and a soundtrack that’s alternately jarring and lovely".
