Nikki Gemmell The Australian Kangaroo follows the predictable path of children’s films, but it’s elevated by the sheer force of its plucky personality, thanks to its dry-as-a-bone wit from scriptwriter Harry Cripps (The Dry, Penguin Bloom.) Rated: 4/5 Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It’s a good-natured movie, dispensing an undiluted shot of optimism, but there’s plenty of matter-of-fact bush humour in the mix, too. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2025 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment A beautiful family film that manages to take its audience on an emotional journey. You'll laugh, you'll cry but more importantly you'll learn a valuable lesson that will have you re-evaluating your own life. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Daily Telegraph (Australia) Nevertheless, small children with an affinity for our native wildlife and the great outdoors will by happy enough with the continued presence of cute little Liz and her jumpy joey co-stars. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) When the Looking for Alibrandi director, working from Harry Cripps’ script, leans on her character’s deeper selves, Kangaroo is truly lovely. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Cain Noble-Davies FILMINK (Australia) … has its stumbles, but as family-friendly entertainment and measured cultural examination, it has more than enough charm to make up for the lulls. Rated: 13.5/20 Sep 14, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
