REVIEWS:

"Crocodile Dundee” had the same impact on me as the books by Jules Verne and Mayne Reid. I went to the movie theater many times to see this movie when I was a kid. Thank you for bringing back those feelings. You’ve done an amazing job.

Yakiv Antypenko

A perfect example of how a documentary can be both deeply personal and historically important. The directors found a perfect balance between emotion and information.

Eva Vizcaino

It weaves memory and history into one, where personal love becomes cultural mythology. The use of archival footage isn’t just nostalgic; it’s a cinematic poem about time and identity.

Isabella Wright

That’s the Aussie spirit! Humor, mateship, land, and honesty. Proud of a film that brought us together and still inspires the world.

Daniel Cuervo

Oh, what an incredibly pure, heartfelt, and beautiful film. It is so multilayered and deep that it's hard to highlight just one main theme. It’s about true Love, real People, friendship, loyalty, humor, the courage to be yourself, about Australia and Australians, and about real wonder. I’ve loved the film “Crocodile Dundee” since childhood. And now this story revealed itself as a natural miracle thanks to the people behind its creation. It makes me want to rewatch “Crocodile Dundee” again. Huge thanks to the filmmakers!

Live Screenings Attendee

I was especially impressed by the restoration work. The detail, color, and texture of the film look amazing. The archival work shows deep respect for the original material.

Kirill Averin

I cried. Honestly. When Delvene talks about John, it’s not just grief, it’s gratitude. This is a film about love that never dies.

Phil Dadson

This film restores faith in documentary cinema, in sincerity, craftsmanship, and respect for legacy. It’s not just nostalgia; it’s a masterful act of remembrance.

Ethan Wilson

I didn’t know who Crocodile Dundee was before this film, but now I want to watch everything! It’s like a story of friendship that changed cinema.

Nicodemo Losa

A touching and warm film. I never realized the Crocodile Dundee story could feel so human. You can really feel the affection between everyone involved.

Leon Bokhari

The documentary captures a rare cultural moment: how friendship, television comedy, and experimentation birthed a global phenomenon. A superb chronicle of an era.
