Kurt Jacobsen Chicago Reader Kangaroo pays Lawrence perhaps the meanest insult by portraying him not as the “priest of love” but, in keeping with the mentality of the Reagan-Thatcher era, as the patron saint of conceit. Rated: 1/4 May 9, 2022 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Kangaroo achieves the neat task of making D.H. Lawrence boring. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 20, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice The film is given dramatic clout by Judy Davis' strong performance. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
