Catherine Bray Variety The filmmaking is at its most successful when it moves away from dialogue-driven sequences and into the more visual, visceral aspects of Nejma’s chosen line of work. May 23, 2024 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Animale boasts visual confidence to spare and a compelling, energetic lead performance from Oulaya Amamra... Disappointingly, though, the film never lives up to its bold scene-setting, falling into a pattern of obviousness. May 22, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney AWFJ.org Emma Benestan and Oulaya Amamra bellow in bloodshed. Animale is a brutal disorienting horror fable burning with feminine anger. Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Although the horror parts of this movie aren’t particularly effective, the bold mix of genres in Animale combined with Amamra’s central performance makes Benestan’s film an engrossing watch.
