"You probably won't see a better directorial debut this year than David Michod's Animal Kingdom, a coiled rattlesnake of a family- crime drama." - Ty Burr, Boston Globe 

"This strong, assured Australian crime tragedy takes the time to dig into characters who would race past us like blurs in a stock thriller, endowing them with a rare depth and emotional truth." - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
