PRO REVIEWS ----------------------------------------

"Manages to get a fair bit right about early 1970s surf culture when it isn't trafficking in the hoariest of David-vs.-Goliath cliches" (Scott Foundas: Variety)

----------------------------------------

"'Drift' paddles aimlessly between plotlines, only finding its groove out beyond the break" (Megan Lehmann: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------

"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" (Jeannette Catsoulis: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------

"The direction (...) is average, except for the surfing sequences (...) Another positive is the soundtrack, with amusing high-energy rock tunes of the era" (Walter Addiego: San Francisco Chronicle)
