Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 01/31/2011
The movie is half a great film about Kokoda. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 01/31/2011
4.5/5
One of the great strengths of Kokoda is the unflinching honesty with which it recreates the nature of the fighting. The film brims with detail that is physically, emotionally and psychologically authentic. Go to Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) 01/31/2011
4/5
The film deserves absolutely top marks for really re-creating this nightmare -- the rain, the mud, the dysentery, the horrors and it is almost like a horror film at times, as the Japanese get so close to them. Go to Full Review Colin Fraser FILMINK (Australia) 01/31/2011
It's a remarkable feature for so many reasons, not the least of which is the haunting tension that fills every shot of every scene. Go to Full Review Margaret Pomeranz At the Movies (Australia) 01/31/2011
3.5/5
First time director Alister Grierson is excellent at recreating the physicality of the Kokoda Trail but misses an emotional factor so that the film, while convincing, is not as moving as you would want or expect. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel N Jan 13 Great Aussie war movie. Awesome mix of drama and action. Have watched this a dozen times and will watch it a dozen more. Makes you appreciate what they went through and highlights the spirit, courage and mateship of Aussie soldiers. See more 06/19/2019 Shallow characters. What a missed chance to tell a great story. See more 04/25/2016 Not a bad Australian war film. but was way to slow for my likening needed something more See more 10/06/2015 Mud and hollow sentiment. See more 07/25/2015 As a war film, it is a must see as it captures the realism and horrors of the Kokoda track, though the characters and story is nothing special it makes up for it with its realistic re-enactment of the frightening jungle battle. See more 04/08/2014 A very decent and realistic war film but could have been better if they had focused a bit more on character development See more Read all reviews
