Critic Reviews:
- " Australian storytelling that packs a punch and pushes you to think deeply about the history of this country, High Ground captures the raw beauty of Arnhem Land as it does the brutality of colonialism. " – Wenlei Ma (News.com.au)
- " High Ground pretty much succeeds at every level it pitches itself at. " – Graeme Tuckett (Stuff.co.nz)
- " High Ground is a deceptively simple story about the lingering consequences of revenge through racism taken to heights of excellence due to beautiful vistas, top representation of Aboriginal culture and its brutal depiction of violence. " – Harris Dang (The AU Review)
