Cortlyn Kelly RogerEbert.com The film reminds us of our duty to our community and culture. Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter A solid telling of a story that’s hard to make anything other than compelling. Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Rodrigo Perez The Playlist Like the best of Vasarhelyi and Chin’s work, it transforms an extraordinary true story into something more universal: a tale of endurance, release, and the desperate search for light. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic Lost in the Jungle is a reminder to not take anyone or anything for granted. You never know the next time you love or visit someone you love may be your last.
