Although the documentary doesn't shy from the reality of the competing life-or-death needs of the dingoes and kangaroos, younger kids won't be exposed to more than threats.

Rated: 4/5

This is not your regular run-of-the-mill documentary. It has all the elements of a feature film -- gorgeous cinematography, an amazing script, and a beautiful majestic score. What an incredible collaboration between writer, director, cinematographer, and musical scoring. I would love to see this documentary adapted into a Disney-like animation film. Kangaroo Valley is a captivating, touching, and at times humorous story that lovingly takes you by the hand and leads you on the amazing life-journey of one adorable joey, named Mala. This is a film that just grabs your heart and won't let go.

When I first heard about this film, I thought it would be a boring documentary with cool cinematography. It was one of those things. (The cinematography was incredible!!) This film tells the story of a Joey in a narrative form. It feels more like a fantasy film than a documentary. I can't describe how I felt when I watched this film. I will tell you this. I cried. The characters were incredibly well written. The Ariel cinematography was chef's kiss. The voice over was amazing! 10/10 recommend.
