      Critical reception


      Peter Bradshaw, reviewing for The Guardian, rated the film with 4 stars out of 5 and wrote "Jaydon Martin makes an outstanding feature debut with this absorbing, moving and visually beautiful docufiction... The film's poetry resides in its thoughtful inactivity, its vernacular spirituality and its gentleness."
      Wendy Ide, writing for ScreenDaily, said "The film is an unvarnished, but striking account of life in this working class community."
      Martin Kudlac of Screen Anarchy wrote "Flathead exhibits a level of formal polish uncharacteristic of a straightforward documentary, yet its decentralized and loosely structured approach sets it apart from conventional fiction cinema."
      Shane Danielsen, writing in The Monthly, described the film as "Elegant, patient and humane". Carmen Gray wrote in the Sight and Sound's Weekly Film Bulletin about the film: "The docufiction, with its distinctive vision of spiritual questing in a poor part of Queensland, maximised absurdist detail and laidback sardonic wit while still conferring dignity on its subjects".


      Accolades


      Flathead won the Tiger Competition Special Jury Award at the 53rd International Film Festival Rotterdam, with Variety reporting the jury's comments on the film: "calm but touching execution ... a naturalistic and realistic film at its best".
      Jaydon Martin won The Blackmagic Design Australian Innovation Award recognises an outstanding Australian creative within a film playing in the MIFF program. The jury statement: 'We were captivated and affected by director Jaydon Martin's visually arresting and very moving portrait of individuals often forgotten about in society – in this case, the real people of small-town Bundaberg. Flathead's seamless merging of realities and fiction, both so raw yet so cinematic, had a profound effect on our jury'.
