Leave your thoughts about Sylvio.
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThe directors, Kentucker Audley (who co-stars as a talk-show host) and Albert Birney, embrace both sides of Sylvio’s temperament, realizing his frenzied outbursts (including a vehicular-chase scene) as imaginatively and as delicately as his self-doubt. |
| Arts FuseBetsy ShermanThe absurdist comedy Sylvio suffers from chronic low energy. |
| Spliced PersonalitySean BurnsSylvio has stray moments of beauty that border on the sublime. There's a yearning to the hairy guy's amazingly uneventful puppet shows, a dream of sophistication that transcends his animal brutishness. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanSylvio is perhaps the most absurd buddy comedy that's ever been made. |
| indieWireEric KohnThe plight of the alienated monkey is at turns absurd and genuinely bittersweet, not to mention a whole lot better than its premise might suggest. |
| The Film StageJason OoiVine fad “Simply Sylvio” and its film adaptation — more plainly titled Sylvio — by directors Albert Birney and Kentucker Audley offer a tense amalgamation of lowbrow sensibilities and highbrow execution, which the anthropomorphic gorilla then beats into submission. |
| The Hollywood ReporterKeith UhlichOne thing's for certain: Not even Charles Darwin could fully figure this monkey out. |
| VarietyNick SchagerEven when their bananas premise grows a bit stale, the directors prove at least semi-serious about their material’s rawer emotions, thereby making the film an uncanny character study about an alienated anthropomorphic primate who yearns to be himself. |
| Slant MagazineGreg CwikSylvio's banal depictions of everyday loneliness through the diurnal tedium of an anthropomorphic animal brings to mind BoJack Horseman, but without the caustic navel-gazing and self-destruction or the mordant pop-culture musings. |
| Village VoiceDanny KingBirney and Audley have an impressive visual sense — the smart framing and thrifty, ingenious production design (by Peter Davis) at times suggest a Wes Anderson–directed installment of Between Two Ferns — and also the good sense to lean on Birney’s nuanced physical performance. |
