Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Glenn Heath Jr. (311) for San Diego CityBeat (181) on 07 Nov 2018

Most certainly an actor's movie, Wildlife's power nevertheless hinges on Dano and co-writer Zoe Kazan's script based on Richard Ford's novel,…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Cj Johnson (473) for ABC Radio (Australia) (677) on 06 Nov 2018

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Erik Henriksen (35) for The Stranger (Seattle, WA) (891) on 06 Nov 2018

The whole thing feels deflated and streeeeetched, with the story just kind of laying there…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for LarsenOnFilm (1,412) on 06 Nov 2018

This is Mulligan’s show. Her risky, raw performance is the life force of an otherwise muted film…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Hannah Woodhead (67) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 06 Nov 2018

A slow burn, but when it catches light, it's a wildfire…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Tt Stern-Enzi (212) for Cincinnati CityBeat (160) on 06 Nov 2018

It is fair to say that audiences will know early on where this story is headed, but Dano's expert execution makes the journey a diverting (and…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Leigh Paatsch (1,103) for Herald Sun (Australia) (1,081) on 05 Nov 2018

Directed by actor Paul Dano from the 1990 novel by Richard Ford, Wildlife is a quietly intimidating experience, with three precision-tooled…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Nick De Semlyen (166) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 05 Nov 2018

A beautifully observed study of an American family coming apart at the seams, it not only establishes Dano as a director to watch, but features…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Daniel Nava (97) for Chicago Cinema Circuit (97) on 05 Nov 2018

amounts to many ephemeral gestures, anchored by less a character and more a blank slate of a performance…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 04 Nov 2018

An exquisitely rendered chamber drama...that's probing, perceptive and intriguingly allusive…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Al Alexander (533) for The Patriot Ledger (721) on 04 Nov 2018

Wildlife is not just tame, it's for the most part lifeless, a meandering exercise with all the excitement and emotion of a two-hour stare down…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Robert Horton (590) for HeraldNet (Everett, WA) (288) on 02 Nov 2018

While it has a formal visual style, as though emphasizing how trapped its characters are, it really comes alive in the energy between the performers…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Sarah Ksiazek (3) for The MacGuffin (26) on 02 Nov 2018

Paul Dano has created a compelling examination of the nuclear family in the 1960s and the consequences when it falls apart…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Matt Oakes (180) for Silver Screen Riot (180) on 02 Nov 2018

Carey Mulligan has been confidently constructing a tasteful resume since her auspicious breakout ...but never has her light shined brighter…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 02 Nov 2018

Paul Dano's intelligent, well-cast adaptation of Richard Ford's novel is a cut above most such literary coming-of-age stories, with Carey Mulligan…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 01 Nov 2018

Dano has made a fine first film, a quiet and restrained study and dissection of domesticity…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Allyson Johnson (161) for Cambridge Day (227) on 01 Nov 2018

Mulligan is graceful and subtle, vulnerable and scornful, domineering when covering up her many insecurities. It's a towering, commanding performance…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Bob Mondello (417) for NPR (1,713) on 01 Nov 2018

Wildlife's portrait of family life is much like the director's many onscreen performances - understated, sad-eyed, deeply affecting…

Review of Wildlife (2018)

By Juan Barquin (14) for Miami New Times (17) on 01 Nov 2018
