Leave your thoughts about We the Animals.
| The Victoria AdvocateJoe FriarNot everyone can relate to the childhood exhibited in Jeremiah Zagar's We the Animals but to those who can the film is one of the most authentic coming-of-age depictions to grace the screen. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternEvery once in a while a movie grabs you, unsuspecting, and hustles its way into your heart. Jeremiah Zagar’s We the Animals does that. This exquisite debut feature, based on a poetic debut novel by Justin Torres, is a tumbling evocation of a volatile family, narrated by one of three young brothers living in upstate New York with their Puerto Rican father and white mother. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineZagar's documentary eye and sensitivity to complex characters make a potent combination, marking him as a filmmaker to watch. |
| CultureCatchBrandon JudellThrough the use of music, animation, handheld camera footage, and razor-sharp editing, Zagar creates a brilliant cinematic equivalent of Torres's tome, a task much harder than you might imagine. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonAdapted from Justin Torres’ debut novel from 2011, Zagar’s bravura direction, with a visual style by cinematographer Zak Mulligan, is lyrical and poetic in an approach that would suggest Terence Malick, complete with wistful narration by the film’s young protagonist. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlBrawling yet tender, wild yet rigorously controlled, first-time fiction director Jeremiah Zagar’s We the Animals is an impressionistic swirl of a film about masculinity, about abuse, about growing up queer, about chaotic family life, about the jumble of incidents and stirrings through which a child discovers a self. |
| Georgia StraightKen EisnerThe characters mostly remain ciphers, with the sole female figure exerting little influence on dreamlike events. Even the animation is static. |
| AwardsWatchErik AndersonIt's one of the most emotionally satisfying and visually breathtaking films of the year. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayA film that feels like something conjured out of memory and magic, a poetic, often ecstatic re-creation of childhood that captures its ungovernable pleasures as vividly as its most threatening terrors. |
| Seattle TimesBrent McKnightDreamy and impressionistic, interspersed with fantastic bursts of animation, We the Animals plays like a gauzy, mesmerizing, half-remembered experience from childhood. |
