Critic Reviews

Elena Oumano

By turns stupendously beautiful and grimly terrifying, and best appreciated in a movie theater. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

This strikingly humane film may function as a prequel to Animal Planet’s “Whale Wars” but is light years ahead in visual clarity and narrative ambition. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

The summer season's most surprising and thought-provoking documentary. Read full review

John Anderson

A nonfiction pirate movie that tickles one’s inner eco-radical. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Plays like an extended episode of "Deadliest Catch" with eco-warriors as the stars--in fact, the Animal Planet show "Whale Wars," now in its second season, follows Sea Shepherd’s exploits--and it’s frequently a rousing adventure. Read full review

S. James Snyder

These ragtag rebels exude an infectious determination, and while director Dan Stone fails in the adrenaline department, he succeeds in bringing home a memorable portrait of resilience. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

A documentary with too much dead time between the arduous tasks at hand, never grabs a viewer because -- sad to say -- it's too dull. Read full review
