Animal kingdom is contemporary realism, but Mechod entwines insinuations of a Greek tragedy or Shakespearian drama. [Full review in Spanish]

David Michôd for President! In all seriousness, this is a fantastically effective film.

Animal Kingdom is a slow burning, complex, and sprawling crime epic.

Michôd's fatal flaw is creating a movie that rides on the tropes and successes of past crime movies in such a vainglorious manner, that he forgets that sympathetic, or even interesting characters make or break a film.

Animal Kingdom not only serves as yet another fine addition to a growing canon of Australian crime dramas, but also now proudly wears the bloodied crown of "King of the Jungle" in terms of tension, menace and impact.
