Top Critics Reviews

After an hour it can feel like a chore. Yet the images are staggering - not least as the camera moves in and out of the ocean.

fresh:
With its repetitive images of netted and gutted sea life, the film suggests that the beast is the human hunter himself.

fresh:
Radical experiential/experimental video of bloody viscera and abstract beauty. Embedded/embodied lens as in Brakhage's "The Governor" and Geyrhalter's "Our Daily Bread."

rotten:
More an accumulation of often indefinable images than any kind of even remotely traditional feature, the documentary "Leviathan" proves a strange and unsatisfying endurance test.

fresh:
Gradually you realize you're witnessing a nonlinear entertainment that's setting its own rules, and you'll either go with the flow or take an early leave.
