      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      While it features a sterling cast, Mammoth's elephantine scope is too sprawling for it to maintain dramatic focus.

      Nina K No words can describe is really awful movie. Waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/23 Full Review dennis d Entertaining with multiple small stories within the entirety of the movie. But I was disappointed in the final culmanation--- Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review mike v Mammoth (Swedish: Mammut) is a 2009 Swedish film directed by Lukas Moodysson 🍿 It's good 🙂 I'd recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william k Ambitious, beautifully made and well cast, but not quite successful attempt to say something about globalization and what it means for individual human beings. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Moodysson clearly overreaches, packing his movie with so many ideas and stories that could all be fleshed out into interesting movies on their own, but here come off as undercooked and disconnected from one another. Which, sure is part of his point, but it's that tired "Westerners are emotionally distant and detached" point that movies have been making for decades now. If you're gonna be fatalistically cynical, at least be original about it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I' ve seen it several times now. It' s not that good but Gael's and Michelle performances plus the music deserve the high ratings. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Laura Kern Film Comment Magazine The real trouble with Mammoth is that [Lukas] Moodysson, more practiced in subtlety than he's given credit for, exhibits none here. Sep 24, 2014 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review David Sugarman CineVue A film neither willfully difficult nor easily accessible, conjuring an illusion of vapidness that may be rather too convincing for some audiences. Rated: 2/5 Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Roe McDermott Hot Press The film's depiction of capitalism's erosion of the family unit is so heavy-handed that any emotional or affecting moments are undermined by the transparency of Moodysson's intentions. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 11, 2016 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman Having spent a decade purposefully alienating audiences, Swedish writer/director Lukas Moodysson claws his way back into the mainstream with this condescending, glossy slice of We Are The World-style film-making. Rated: 2/5 Jan 10, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
