Critics Consensus

Sustaining a zany premise with stylistic bravura and inspired gags, Hundreds of Beavers is a comedic gem that gives a dam.

Leor Galil

Chicago Reader

Cheslik and Tews execute each gag with great force and speed, stringing the scenes together into a coherent story with callbacks and forward momentum that intensifies as the movie barrels along.

It’s been a long time since I was this clueless about what was going to happen next in a film; the feeling was exhilarating.

It's genuinely quite bananas and it's genuinely quite funny.

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

The slapstick is only improved by the film’s Pythonesque less-is-more approach to effects.

Punch Drunk Critics

No film this year has such a continued series of laughs as this brilliant combination of Buster Keaton-style slapstick, Michel Gondry DIY production values, early Chuck Jones animation, and macabre puppet violence.

Rated: 4/5

In such serious times, such inventive, absorbing silliness is welcome. It took us completely away to a different world with its own (humorous) logic and a plot that didn't require a single word of dialogue. Wonderful!
