Paper Planes review – Aussie family drama hits the spot

A big-hearted story about a boy aiming for a place in the Tokyo paper-plane finals

D ami Im’s cover of Macy Gray’s Beauty in the World sets the upbeat tone for this Australian domestic hit about a kid aiming for the Tokyo paper-plane finals. Inspired by a 2009 episode of the TV series Australian Story , Robert Connolly’s big-hearted drama finds redemption in folded paper as young Dylan ( The Visit ’s Ed Oxenbould) aims his darts at his bereaved father’s heart. Sam Worthington looks suitably bereft as the widower who can’t connect with his motherless child, but Terry Norris steals the show as the irrepressible grandpa who has little intention of putting his rakish fighter-pilot past behind him.
