Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 8/10 by Ernest HardyA film whose sense of urgency and purpose is utterly engrossing.
NOW Toronto - 8/10 by Susan G. ColeThe subtle approach may not convert all carnivores, and you might not buy the premise that animals deserve equal rights with humans. But this is a superb example of committed filmmaking.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Betsy SharkeyThe Ghosts in Our Machine, a heartfelt meditation on animal rights, comes at you as a whisper. It depends on the persuasive powers of creatures great and small — in their natural habitat or in cages — to argue that we stop using them for food, clothing, research and entertainment.
Bust Magazine - 8/10 by Emily RemsThis sense of global shift-of an old world order being cleverly undermined by a newer, more compassionate one-permeates [Liz] Marshall's graphic, often upsetting meditation on how the animal kingdom is used and abused by humanity at large.
The New York Times - 7/10 by David DeWittThe Ghosts in Our Machine is a compelling movie, but its argument expands without deepening.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Wes GreeneJo-Anne McArthur's cause draws sharp comparisons with the never-mentioned PETA, a seemingly insignificant omission that discloses a lingering problem of willful insularity.
Newcity - 5/10 by Ray PrideCooly stylized, sometimes to the point of visual and aural delirium... Beauty and terror are quietly arrayed, sometimes commingling in the same images. It's an artful way to make a case about the sentience of other animals.
The Hollywood Reporter - 5/10 by John DeForeLiz Marshall's Ghosts in Our Machine trades didacticism for first-person atmospherics.
RogerEbert.com - 5/10 by Scott Jordan HarrisMarshall's film does not only aim to document animal rights activism but also to propagate it, and in that it is less successful. This is a film overflowing with passion and compassion but often lacking the intellectual detachment necessary to distill conviction into a rigorous argument.
Variety - 4/10 by Peter DebrugeThis off-putting pic requires open minds and iron nerves.
