Darwin's Nightmare movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Becomes Errol Morris's bad dream -- a documentary apparently uninterested in any factual basis for its arguments. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: The words Being poor is like being old are scrawled on the door of a shack; like this movie, it's a howl waiting to be heard. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Read more
Boston Globe: [A] despairing, essential documentary. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: It immerses you in its reality one toe at a time, until suddenly you are in over your head, gasping for air as the horror of the situation reveals itself in all its savage devastation. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Darwin's Nightmare is an urgent, horrific, yet at times oddly blinkered vision of the crisis of modern Africa. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: The movie prefers to show snippets of life and let the audience make the connections. Many of these scenes prove memorable. Read more
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly: In unflinching terms, it captures the hellish existence endured by the many so that the few may wallow in privilege. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: With a roving eye and an attentive heart, Sauper's film takes in everyone involved in this miasma. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Sauper captures a world in which life and death are treated with equal practicality -- and disregard. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Hubert Sauper's harrowing, indispensable documentary about Tanzania presents the agonized human face of globalization. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: This, Sauper's film says without words, is what the human race has evolved into -- the developed world preying on the undeveloped to the extent that people suffer and die so that two million fillets a day are available to Euro-diners. Read more
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle: Sauper's documentary is meant to reveal first-hand the devastating effects of globalization -- at least, an irresponsible form of it -- on a poor, foreign culture, and for the most part it succeeds. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: As much a sociological horror movie as a documentary, this artfully chilling film examines what happens to a nation's environment, economy and political ecology when the law of the jungle is allowed free rein. Read more
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail: A haunting, beautifully made reality check. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Strange and terrible are the ways of man. Read more
David Rooney, Variety: Somewhat haphazardly organized yet fascinatingly detailed and enriched by the candor and dignity of its shockingly deprived interview subjects. Read more
Dennis Lim, Village Voice: It illuminates the sinister logic of a new world order that depends on corrupt globalization to put an acceptable face on age-old colonialism. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Darwin's Nightmare is many things, including an environmental cautionary tale, a critique of globalization and a portrait of a community, country and continent in deep crisis. Read more
