In the flawless cast, Williams is the most affecting.
By David Edelstein FULL REVIEW

Mammoth manages to be as affecting as it is heartfelt.

If one thinks of "Babel" minus the melodrama and histrionics, you get a clearer picture of what Moodysson has done here.
By Kirk Honeycutt FULL REVIEW
50
This overlong drama is the first (mostly) English-language film from the talented Swedish filmmaker Moodysson (“Lilya 4-Ever”). Any semblance of subtlety was unfortunately lost in translation.

Mr. Moodysson has never met a pleasure he didn’t want to punish.
By Manohla Dargis FULL REVIEW
50
A mixed bag, Mammoth is a good-looking, smoothly directed, continent-hopping drama about parents and children, globalization and the disconnect between rich and poor, but comes with too much repetitive exposition and lacks an emotional payoff.
FULL REVIEW
