Leave your thoughts about Meow Wolf: Origin Story.
| Birth.Movies.Death.Marisa MirabalEven if their art may not appeal to everyone's style, their passionate and innovative drive to support the art community while creating something new is surely something to respect and appreciate. |
| Film ThreatChris SalceMeow Wolf: Origin Story is pure art. It is inspiring that these group of artists made something out of nothing and in a very literal sense. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreTwo big themes run through Meow Wolf: Origin Story. One is “inclusivity.” Even people who get into tiffs and storm off find themselves invited back in, “a lot more like a family than friends,” Caity Kennedy says. The other is uncompromising idealism. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandWhile the particular brand of art that Meow Wolf crafts isn’t for everyone — audiences uninterested in participatory experiences may very well be turned off by the film’s synopsis alone — the story at the heart of “Origin Story” is universal. |
| Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiA complex and fascinating look into a convergence of creativity, money, and iconoclasts, Meow Wolf: Origin Story is a tale that to my knowledge has no precedent. And while Meow Wolf might not be to everyone’s tastes, they are trailblazers. I’ll take their elaborate and inventive installations over pastel desert paintings of horses and clouds any day of the week. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeOrigin Story maintains an upbeat vibe as its heroes push forth into the larger world; here's hoping they show lots of people a good time before their world-domination strategy sucks the life out of them. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersOther than showing moments of in-fighting, Meow Wolf: Origin Story is an almost entirely positive exploration of the collective and their art — but it’s an effective one. |
