Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
[Treadwell] left behind 100 hours of some of the most astonishing nature footage ever captured by camera.

An alternately gripping and funny-charming nature film and psychological study.

fresh:
Fascinating as both nature documentary and as a portrait of a narcissistic monomaniac, utterly in keeping with Herzogian type.

fresh:
Treadwell, a failed TV actor, is presented as someone desperate to give and receive love. That he went to such extremes is tragic, but also, in Herzog's sympathetic eyes, deeply human.

fresh:
Like so much of Herzog's work, both narrative and documentary, this is an engrossing look at obsessive behavior gone terribly awry.
