Jessica Kiang Variety Despite strong performances that go a long way to embedding the film in real, idiosyncratic life - and the warm-toned, polished photography of Michael Schindegger - too much of "L'Animale" feels too familiar. Mar 2, 2018 Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Strikes an astute balance between tough and tender. Feb 24, 2018 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Although hardly breaking new ground, the second feature from Katharina Mueckstein takes an unfussy, clear-eyed approach to gender and sexual politics. Feb 19, 2018 Full Review David Pountain Vague Visages Regardless of such attempts to impress, L’animale is littered with moments that interest less for the human conflict unfolding and more for the rural scenery that surrounds and ultimately immerses the cast. Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa All of the actors do a serious, dedicated job, and [Sophie] Stockinger more than lives up to the main role she has been given. Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Ella Kemp CineVue Using a wide range of bold influences while carving its own way, Mückstein's latest film is invigorating and admirable.
