Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Martin TsaiImaginatively interspersing testimonials with reenactments, comic panels and Claymation, the film plays out like an entertaining absurdist satire.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 7/10 by Charles MudedeWorrying about a bunch of cows is only silly if this economic logic is absent. Anyway, the documentary has its moments and is informative; however, I did not get into the talking cows
Playback:stl - 7/10 by Sarah Boslaugh...it's impossible not to recognize the absurdity of life when being told a story from the point of view of a group of talking cows.
Maven's Nest - 6/10 by Nora Lee MandelOnce upon a time. . .absurdist comedy. . .[of] idealistically impractical. . .[I]interviews. . .reenactments, amusing talking animals. . . [don't] provide nonviolent model.
New York Times - 5/10 by Ken JaworowskiEven at 75 minutes, it can feel padded with footage whose connection to the central plot is tenuous. But at its best, The Wanted 18 follows a worthy tradition of highlighting absurdities that arise during conflict.
HeraldNet (Everett, WA) - 4/10 by Robert HortonTaken separately, there is nothing wrong with political documentaries, animation, or talking animals. Put them together, and you have my kryptonite.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Diana ClarkeThis movie about violence and how it comes into intimate spaces refuses to make even animals only animal. It's beautiful and important and very strange.
User Review - 10/10 by Gene SA great story told in an entertaining matter! Well done!
