      Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound Quirky and a wild ride. From beginning to end. You will get twist after turn as the story unfolds. Not sure what most critics will think of the film but those who watch it will have a good time. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2022 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation Shockingly, a movie about a movie that was abandoned, mid-production, turns out to be a movie that should have been abandoned mid-production. Rated: 0/4 Aug 31, 2022 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …There’s some withering wit here, and even if Killer Whales has a few of the flaws we expect from a debut, it’s a useful calling card for the considerable talent involved… Rated: 3/5 Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Jeff H What do I love most about this film? Everything. It's smart, hilarious, and entertaining from start to finish. But what makes "Killer Whales" truly wonderful is that every character in this film is insane, completely insane. And that is why they all seem like real people on a series of cinematic adventures. The truth is that our planet is filled with crazy people doing crazy things and "Killer Whales" nails it. I guess that I also have to mention that the writing, acting, and directing are superb; which I thought was obvious because you cannot accomplish a brilliant, whimsical film without those elements. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Karolina S Funny movie with quirky characters and little surprises for those that watch carefully. I had a blast! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/22 Full Review Olof G I was actually looking for a movie about orcas when I stumbled upon this. Very funny movie with some amazing characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/22 Full Review Fernando Germn T A great critique to the sensationalism of the last wave of documentaries that has been coming up from a few years ago with a nice comedy tone. In some sense, we are all a bit like Donny and Killer Whales makes you think about it in his journey. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/22 Full Review joseph t A sincerely delightful movie with a hilarious concept. The incredibly eclectic and over the top characters had me consistently laughing throughout the film. Would definitely recommend. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Packed with hilarious, ridiculous, over-the-top characters. Will have you laughing out loud Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
