Critic Reviews

David Edelstein

In the flawless cast, Williams is the most affecting. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Mammoth is a perfectly decent film. Too bad it isn't more thoughtful. It's easy to regret misfortune if all you do is regret it. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

Mammoth manages to be as affecting as it is heartfelt. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

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. Read full review

Noel Murray

While Mammoth is frequently poignant and beautifully acted--especially by Williams, who’s so lost and lonely that she becomes casually cruel--the movie lacks the personal touch that’s distinguished even Moodysson’s “difficult” films. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

Mr. Moodysson has never met a pleasure he didn’t want to punish. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

The overlapping stories, the emotional disconnect, the heavy-handed symbolism -- no, it's not a movie from the makers of "Babel," its a mumbling, stammering copycat drama from Swedish director Lukas Moodysson. Read full review

Una pelicula chantajista de la peor especie. A White Man's Burden Production. La producciÃ³n, eso sÃ, es impecable y el reparto, esforzado. Pero el resultado es peor que el peor guiÃ³n de Guillermo Arriaga.
