Kangaroo Island

This was a beautiful, funny and heartfelt film that kept me engaged from start to finish. The Kangaroo Island scenery was absolutely stunning and added so much to the story. It was beautifully shot, with every scene capturing the natural beauty perfectly. The acting was wonderful, bringing warmth, humour and emotion to the film. A truly memorable and uplifting experience.

From the very first scene of this spectacular South Australian film 'Kangaroo Island', I was hooked. It offered everything! Wonderful acting, authentic characters, love and family challenges, as well as picturesque scenery, ideal accompanying music and spot-on Aussie humour. I laughed, I cried and I rode the bumpy ride of the Wells family. A heart-warming, realistic insight into love and loss for a close-knit family, so perfect in their imperfections. Superbly directed and so well written, this is a must see film for all.

Kangaroo Island delivers the perfect blend of heart and humour 🍿 Visually stunning, with standout performances that bring the story to life, this film is a triumph for South Australian cinema. A heartfelt and beautifully crafted piece of storytelling, it's one not to be missed.

Proudly South Australian!

The film explores themes of life and death and how humans seek meaning from a world that appears to have none. It's about relationships of all kinds - friends, lovers, family, loss, gain and hope. At 110 minutes the film moves very fast and is often described as an emotional rollercoaster with genuine laugh-out-loud moments throughout - even during the moving of scenes.
