I'm giving this an "A" letter grade because I find it utterly absorbing, start to finish. I don't know if I think it's a good film, but it is a powerfully compelling film. Perhaps my favorite kind of strange or insane film is the personal passion project, and "Roar" is one of the most remarkable examples of this. Read full review

There’s really not much going on with Roar storywise. But then you take a step back and think about what it is that you’re watching. My viewing of Roar was set to a soundtrack of “Oh my God!” and “Holy crap!”, all of my own making. Read full review

There almost certainly will never be anything like Roar again, and that’s reason enough to check it out. Read full review

If you want to see cats chasing people in packs, falling over themselves to descend stairwells, and jump up trees to swipe at disposable human protagonists--you will probably enjoy Roar. Read full review

However misguided, it’s clearly one from the heart, a movie that should never have happened, and one that’s hard to believe actually exists. Roar is one of a kind. With any luck, it always will be. Read full review

If you watch "Roar" for its sheer absurdness, you will not be disappointed. Some scenes are really hard to watch because you fear for the cast and crew the entire time. As a curiosity this is great but as an adventure movie this kinda sucks.
