Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Mammoth manages to be as affecting as it is heartfelt.
– Joe Morgenstern,
Wall Street Journal,

rotten:
In Mammoth, when a rich child eats her lunch in New York, a poor boy in the Philippines cries. And so it goes, as privilege begets exploitation with grimly deterministic logic and pages and pages of bad dialogue.
– Manohla Dargis,

rotten:
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.
– Joe Neumaier,

fresh:
Too many films exploit the perils faced by children when the social contract is ruptured, but Mammoth earns its cruel, sensationalistic turns and then some.
– David Edelstein,
New York Magazine/Vulture,

rotten:
An interesting idea, but Mammoth's good intentions -- like its characters' -- are lost somewhere in the delivery.
