Barras builds the film not just so that annihilation feels tangible, but also so that sense of history and spirituality can be felt as well as told.

Rated: 4/5

The Sun (UK)

Savages’ clever blend of charm, ecological awareness and cultural respect makes it a winning, if slightly conventional, addition to contemporary animation.

Rated: 3/5

Sunday Times (UK)

The film could have done with a little more action and adventure to balance the anti-corporate messaging but he brings his handcrafted jungle to teeming, tactile life.

Rated: 3/5

Leandro Ariel Porcelli

Cinéfilo Serial

A beautifully empathetic film that gets to simplify some of the most complex things in life. Barras manages to condense a profoundly humanistic socioeconomic narrative in light entertainment for all ages. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 10/10

...the animation is so deft and delightful, and the story so devoid of sentimentality, [Claude Barras] manages to draw you into the high-stakes story without resorting to amped-up action and exhausting set-pieces.
