	"...a graceful story of music and memory, a moving and thoughtful depiction of art and action... poignant, quietly inspiring..." ★ ★ ★ ★ - The Age, Nov 2012 "Stern-Wolfe is a natural on-camera talent, eloquent, passionate, unassuming and possessed of a wry sense of humour. Multi-tasking as director, producer, cinematographer and editor, Spong has crafted a handsome-looking production... It's an impressive effort..." ★ ★ ★ ★ - SBS, Nov 2012 "Heartbreaking, charming, compelling and moving, 'All the Way Through Evening' is an important film, and a beautiful one. Don't miss it..." ★ ★ ★ ★ - Artshub, Nov 2012 "A quietly luminous documentary" - The Global Mail, Nov 2012 "An important and affecting piece of cinema." - FilmInk Nov 2012 "Mimi Stern-Wolfe will steal your heart... The film's climactic outpouring of sonic emotion will reduce you to tears." ★ ★ ★ ★ - Cue Dot Confessions, Nov 2012 "In its own modest and humble way, the film has carried on Mimi's legacy just as she has carried others." ★ ★ ★ ★ - The Last Picture Show, Nov 2012 "'All the Way Through Evening' is a deeply moving documentary that stays with you long after the credits roll." ★ ★ ★ ★ - Film Blerg, Nov 2012 "immensely moving... undeniably an important memorial work." ★ ★ ★ ★ - Film Emporium, Nov 2012 "All the Way Through Evening is a fitting tribute to [Mimi Stern-Wolfe] and a moving viewing experience." B+ - Stale Popcorn, Nov 2012 "Spong is a talented director and Mimi is a woman you will find a connection to. 'All The Way Through Evening' is an important documentary and I highly urge people to seek it out." ★ ★ ★ ★ - Super Marcey's Film Blog, Nov 2012 "It's an important film, but a beautiful film as well... It's not the sort of film that you expect an independent Australian filmmaker to make, but I'm glad Rohan Spong did..." - 3RRR (Smart Arts), Nov 2012 "On screen, Stern Wolfe seems like a director’s dream subject – generous, eloquent and with a razor-sharp recall of events and memories she’s eager to share. It’s clear that the director and his subject struck up an intense rapport." - Star Observer, Nov 2012 "There is an uplifting quality to 'All The Way Through Evening', despite the fact that it would not exist without the AIDS epidemic. There are too few films which examine the pursuits that provide us with quality of life." - Reel Good, Nov 2012 "Few feature films think outside the box of facts and figures when depicting crucial issues like HIV/AIDS on screen. Rohan Spong's documentary, 'All The Way Through Evening', uses a mixture of classical music and wrenching personal stories to transcend the barriers..." - FilmInk, Oct 2012 "The film is my generation trying to access that time and place, a small group of people who came and went from this one room, and now that room is empty, and the only person who’s around who remembers that room is Mimi. And she’s adamant that people remember” - TimeOut, Oct 2012 Australian born independent filmmaker Rohan Spong found success with his first feature film “T Is for Teacher” (2009).. It is his latest film, however, that has catapulted Rohan into the limelight and etched his name into the annals of film history. - ArtInfo, Jan 2013 "It began with a chance meeting between two of the most unlikely collaborators. When eccentric seventy-something New York pianist Mimi Stern-Wolfe met exuberant twenty-something Australian filmmaker Rohan Spong, their futures were about to change..." - A&U Magazine, May 2012 "...Brightly, the music brings you in, and you’re caught up in the world with these talented artists, only to lose them too when the tragic nature of that history finally arrives. In that way, the audience is immersed in the tragedy too, leaving a more lasting impact by credits roll." - Film Threat, May 2012 "...beautiful music that was going to be lost." - DNAinfo [New York], Dec 2011.
