Reception
Annette Basile of FilmInk wrote that the film "will put a smile on your face and make its way into your heart."{{cite web |url=https://www.filmink.com.au/review/the-view-from-greenhaven-film/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328194156/https://www.filmink.com.au/review/the-view-from-greenhaven-film/ |archive-date=2012-03-28 |title= The View From Greenhaven (film)|last= Basile|first= Annette|date= 13 October 2008|website= FilmInk|publisher= |access-date= 7 October 2022|quote=}} George Palathingal of The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that "With any luck, the MacRaes will think their next project through more carefully. It's all well and good knowing how to tell a story; it's another matter getting people to pay attention."{{cite web|url= https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/the-view-from-greenhaven-20081016-gdsz1m.html|title= The View From Greenhaven|last= Palathingal|first= George|date= 16 October 2008|website= The Sydney Morning Herald|publisher= |access-date= 7 October 2022|quote= |archive-date= 7 October 2022|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20221007025250/https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/the-view-from-greenhaven-20081016-gdsz1m.html|url-status= live}}
Jake Wilson of The Age called the film "thinly imaged though efficiently constructed".{{cite web |url= https://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/movies/the-view-from-greenhaven-20081024-ge7h1n.html|title= The View from Greenhaven|last= Wilson|first= Jake|date= 24 October 2008|website= The Age|publisher= |access-date= 7 October 2022|quote=}} Jason Di Rosso of Radio Australia wrote that while Haywood and Hughes are "good in the lead roles", the rest of the characters "just aren't original or interesting enough" and the "emotional watershed at the end, too, feels a little simplistic."{{cite web|url= https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/invalid/movietime/the-view-from-greenhaven/3191566|title= The View From Greenhaven|last= Di Rosso|first= Jason|date= 16 October 2008|website= Radio Australia|publisher= |access-date= 7 October 2022|quote= |archive-date= 7 October 2022|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20221007032148/https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/invalid/movietime/the-view-from-greenhaven/3191566|url-status= live}}
