      Michael King Austin Chronicle When does a childlike enthusiasm become a destructive obsession? That's the central question of Timothy Wheeler's riveting documentary about English "eggers." Aug 29, 2016 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times A standard documentary would feature assorted experts describing the fetish. Mr. Wheeler lets the men paint their own portraits, to disturbing, and a bit poignant, effect. Oct 8, 2015 Full Review Amy Brady Village Voice At times the comic tone undercuts the hunters' pleas to be taken seriously. But mostly it raises the question of how seriously the filmmakers take poaching. Oct 6, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this tragicomedy about an underworld that simply fascinates. But don't be fooled, this movie is so much more than a window into mischievous egg poachers. It is about addiction, the consequences of our selfish behaviors, and love. Watch and be stunned.
