Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
With The Beaver, Gibson shows that for all his personal turmoil, he still may have a career in the twilight years.

fresh:
The film is amusing, then melancholy, then weirdly funny, then not. It's a quiet, measured work.
– Lisa Kennedy,

fresh:
The acting throughout -- Foster, Lawrence, Yelchin -- is superb, and this may well be Gibson's finest performance, just as it's Foster's most balanced job of directing.

rotten:
Beyond the initial idea, this is kid gloves filmmaking, when what we need is a bit more of the gloves-off stuff.

rotten:
It's a bummer of a movie -- dark and at cross-purposes with both itself and any image do-over [Gibson] might be seeking.
