| IndieWireEric KohnWhile the movie gets a little too lost in Demers’ headspace, his story brings to light the limitations of the “Blackfish” effect, and shows why the war against marine park cruelty has a long way to go. |
| The Hollywood ReporterInkoo KangIncomplete-feeling film, which inadvertently illustrates how empathy without balance can obscure truth. |
