Reviews

Rene Jordan

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.

Fantastic thriller with awesome performances. Sadly forgotten through time. [Full review in Spanish].

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.
