Where to watch A Lion Returns

"It grabs you from the opening scene and never lets go."

The Australian
The Australian"Shot in a staggering ten days on finances raised through crowd-funding, A Lion Returns is a mini-miracle of local filmmaking. It's also an excellent piece of cinema outside of its incredible production history."

FilmInk"Caradee's script is probably too verbose and much of it is predictable. It's hardly an original story, but it's told with such conviction and his actors pack his dialogue with such a charge that there's a wealth of family history in every word."
