Hard headed Louisiana fisherman Thomas Gonzales doesn't know what will hit him next. After decades of hurricanes and oil spills he faces a new threat - hordes of monstrous 20 pound swamp rats. Known as 'nutria', these invasive South American rodents breed faster than the roving squads of hunters can control them. And with their orange teeth and voracious appetite they are eating up the coastal wetlands that protects Thomas and his town of Delacroix Island from hurricanes. But the people who have lived here for generations are not the type of folks who will give up without a fight. Thomas and a pack of lively bounty hunters are hellbent on saving Louisiana before it dissolves beneath their feet. It is man vs. rodent. May the best mammal win.
Leave your thoughts about Rodents of Unusual Size.
| Lagniappe (Mobile, AL)Asia FreyThis is a funny, gross documentary of unusual depth covering ecology, identity, culture, class and family through the lens of the life cycle of a gigantic, disgusting rat. |
| Washington City PaperPat PaduaIt weighs 20 pounds, has orange teeth and webbed feet-and if you live in coastal Louisiana, it's probably on your lawn. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsDirectors Quinn Costello, Chris Metzler, and Jeff Springer emphasize their subjects' creativity and camaraderie, resulting in a upbeat, flavorful community portrait. |
| Arts FuseGerald PearyBut recount it [the filmmakers] do, mighty entertainingly, in Rodents of Unusual Size. |
| Village VoiceKaren HanThe film demonstrates a surprising - and commendable - frankness, especially as its creators interview those working to stay afloat amid hurricanes and nutria-accelerated coastal erosion. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelAt a whisker under 70 minutes, "Rodents" totally hits it and quits it, without any wasted time. Yet, it is an important and informative film, especially given the spread of the nutria population. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreA Louisiana tale of carnage and almost cuddly affection for its most destructive invader -- the nutria. |
| Reel Honest ReviewsPamela PowellAs an animal lover and environmentalist, this film created an insightful and very unique story that is at once engaging, entertaining and informative. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgAs a documentary, Rodents of Usual Size makes good use of animation illustrating how Louisiana got itself into this environmental disaster. The filmmakers interview a wide variety of citizens who come at the problem from their own unique perspective. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasIn a way, the film is about two resilient species that refuse to back down - the nutria and the Louisianan. |
