3/5
Sometimes I thought Kangaroo Island was about to devolve into Hallmarkian slosh and lose me completely, only for David (a first-time feature film-maker) to get me back on side, more or less, by creating small moments that really resonate. Go to Full Review

This is a solid debut film by the advertising creative director (full name Timothy David Piper) who came up with the green gecko character for tyre manufacturer Bridgestone Australia. Go to Full Review

Lou W @lwals25 23h Absolutely terrible, totally predictable. Seems like it was made for an American audience with all the contrived animal life! It was missing an emu and a platypus! It could have been much better See more FilmGuru F @DavidLeRoff 5d Loved this heart-felt film. Laughed and cried like I never had in front of a screen before. Seriously. See more Aloysious D @AalDacunha Feb 1 Enjoyed the movie thoroughly. Loved Rebecca's (Lou) acting and thoroughly enjoyed how the drama unfolds from family fued to love and companionship. I enjoyed the fauna of the land and have this lovely island now on my bucket list to vist. See more Ruben S @Ruben_Shehean Jan 21 Great acting all round throughout but very challenging to like any of the characters for the first 3/4, genuinely just watching people try to make the worst possible decisions for themselves for over an hour and then crying about the obvious consequences. However, the last 1/4 where the characters get rounded out and the story comes together in a heartfelt way touches a soft spot. See more Ollie L @Ollielock Jan 20 Tough watch, one of the worst films I’ve seen in a long time. See more Angela H @Amhowde Jan 16 So Australian. Eat your heart out Hollywood!!! Beautiful setting, incredible acting, drama you can’t foresee and so real it was seemingly unscripted. It will make you laugh, make you cry and perhaps give you a wildlife fright or two. Ultimately, a great message about what is important in life, without the cheese, fake sincerity or predictability. Only Australians will truly appreciate this gem of a movie. Refreshingly good. As Molly Meldrum would say ‘do yourself a favour’! See more Read all reviews
