Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Imaginatively interspersing testimonials with reenactments, comic panels and Claymation, the film plays out like an entertaining absurdist satire. Jun 19, 2015 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com While Shomali resists easy cynicism while seeming to have almost every excuse to indulge it, he doesn't try to craft a hopeful parable out of his material either. Rated: 3/4 Jun 19, 2015 Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times At its best, "The Wanted 18" follows a worthy tradition of highlighting absurdities that arise during conflict ... Jun 19, 2015 Full Review Charles Mudede The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Worrying about a bunch of cows is only silly if this economic logic is absent. Anyway, the documentary has its moments and is informative; however, I did not get into the talking cows Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Kiva Reardon Cinema Scope Admirable aims, to be sure, but overall the film is as awkward as a cow on a crutch. Sep 30, 2017 Full Review Jared Mobarak The Film Stage The Wanted 18 is gorgeous to look at with high production value placed on actor reenactments, Shomali's humorous stop-motion cow interludes, and the interviews themselves. Rated: B+ Feb 27, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
