Out of It is a 1977 Australian film created by Ken Cameron. It is a road movie where three unemployed friends head north after a robbery went wrong. [1]
Barbara Aylsen of Filmnews said "As a portrait of the vacuum that is often euphemistically called youth it's nostaliga (sic) if you care to remember, and an insight if you want to find out." [1] Sandra Hall, writing for the Bulletin, called it "a nicely ironic story about three likable bumblers caught up in petty crime on the outskirts of F. J. Holden country." [2] When it aired on Chanel Ten in 1980 Don Groves wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald "On a tiny budget ($23,000), writer-director Ken Cameron has achieved a remarkably high standard of film-making." [3] In 1986 it was showcased on The Cutting Room [4] where the Age's Judith Fox called it "an essay on the Aussie loser, a road movie which investigates the loss of focus of three youths as a journey in itself."
