With its repetitive images of netted and gutted sea life, the film suggests that the beast is the human hunter himself. Peter Keough-Boston Globe
Radical experiential/experimental video of bloody viscera and abstract beauty. Embedded/embodied lens as in Brakhage's "The Governor" and Geyrhalter's "Our Daily Bread." Bill Stamets-Chicago Sun-Times
More an accumulation of often indefinable images than any kind of even remotely traditional feature, the documentary "Leviathan" proves a strange and unsatisfying endurance test. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
Gradually you realize you're witnessing a nonlinear entertainment that's setting its own rules, and you'll either go with the flow or take an early leave. John Hartl-Seattle Times
Edited together into a non-linear and virtually wordless whole, it creates a briny immersive effect that is almost hallucinatory. Peter Howell-Toronto Star
The adventurous souls who stick with it ... will find head-spinning images and a cumulative impact that does, in fact, amount to a story. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
[Plunges] us into a microcosm of chaos and disharmony that reflects the frequently uneasy relationship between nature and commerce. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
Without a speck of narration or meaningful dialogue, "Leviathan" puts you in the middle of the action, whether from human, fish, or even bird's-eye view. Marc Mohan-Oregonian
Leviathan is likely like nothing you've ever seen, with filmmaking methods you can barely comprehend, and it absolutely demands to be seen on the big screen. Josh Slater-Williams-The Skinny
Alert the genre police: Leviathan is the best horror film of the year. Chris Chang-Film Comment Magazine
If you get into the rhythm of Leviathan, the experience can be at turns transcendent and overwhelming. Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
Rather than being taught a lesson or being rallied to a cause, Leviathan offers you the opportunity to leave your ordinary world for 87 minutes and plug yourself into the world of a fishing crew... Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters
...there is very little time (if any) spent on actually teaching me anything at all about the hard life of a North Atlantic fisherman. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
The prow of the boat, slicing through the waves, suggests the Leviathan as a metaphor for earth, a neverending journey of labor and death and those that scavenge at its edges. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
I haven't felt this drenched in seawater since my last scuba dive. Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals
Leviathan won't be to all tastes, but there's no denying it's quite a catch. Chris Knight-National Post
One of the sparest documentaries ever produced, this film takes the audience into the very heart of mechanized food production. Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
A very little of 'Leviathan' goes a long way, one gets the point, and essentially what are repetitions go overboard and for too many frames. Donald J. Levit-ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Bold, ugly, beautiful, haunting, nauseating, pretentious, scary, tedious and disgusting. One of the most viscerally horrifying films in years. Not for the weak-stomached. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
Experimental documentary about fishing has its defenders, but will seem tedious and incoherent to most. Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International
In this unpredictable and tightly-paced thriller, family man Marlon Villar - a longtime chauffeur to corrupt Filipino politician Manuel Chango - is faced with an unthinkable predicament when he is ambushed while driving both his boss's and his own daughter home from school one afternoon. As events spin wildly out of control, Marlon, Chango and their families are forced into a rapid downward spiral of deceit and betrayal that will leave no one innocent. -- (C) Drafthouse Unrated If You Like this movie you can streaming Graceland movie without downloading HERE

Graceland ... has a ruthlessness rarely attempted by its North American counterparts. Adam Nayman-Globe and Mail
The film feels increasingly exploitative as it becomes more overtly political, illustrating various forms of injustice with blunt, sensationalistic imagery. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader
A potent combo of hostage thriller and high-impact morality play. Richard Kuipers-Variety
The social and economic pitfalls facing the vast urban underclass of Manila's sprawling metropolitan area are depicted with unflinching regard in Ron Morales' observant low-budget Filipino feature, a blend of ruthless crime drama and grim thriller. Justin Lowe-Hollywood Reporter
A tense, twisty cinematic artichoke brimming with moral complexity and intriguing shades of gray. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
A nerve-shredding Philippines-set thriller made with such skill that its low budget barely registers. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Sometimes difficult to stomach, the film captures the fragility of normal life in such a hotbed of crime and disorder. Marc Mohan-Oregonian
Morales's often brutal morality tale has both a grim intensity and a shattering impact. Jason Anderson-The Grid
Graceland is more concerned with the moral compromises of individuals than the greater failures of society. Mark Dujsik-Mark Reviews Movies
Filipino-American filmmaker Ron Morales gets raw and real in a return to his cultural roots in teeming Manila for this sex trafficking thriller, though flirting with the boundaries between outrage and exploitation. Prairie Miller-WBAI Radio
It's a fantastic thriller with outstanding performances that command attention. Michael Treveloni-Film School Rejects
Graceland is a deceptively simple thriller with a smart setup and a cruelly efficient execution. Rob Hunter-Film School Rejects
Morales, who also wrote the script, knows how to pull at our heartstrings, especially with scenes involving child prostitutes. Nina Garin-San Diego Union-Tribune
Graceland is an extremely bleak, yet very interesting film, that builds suspense through a tight story and quality acting rather than gimmicks. Alexander Lowe-We Got This Covered
Take the worst day you've ever had at your job and multiply it by ten. That still probably won't compare with the day that Marlon Villar (Arnold Reyes) is having in Graceland. Matt Shiverdecker-Paste Magazine
This is not a movie to see on a first date or with your family, but please do go see it, because Morales has pulled off something remarkable -- a fast-paced, tough, and twisty film that confronts real social problems. Leah Churner-Austin Chronicle
It is one of the bleakest movies you'll see all year, but its dramatic contours mark Morales as a filmmaker with the ability to craft a tight and unnerving story. Matthew Odam-Austin American-Statesman
None of this could work without a stellar performance from Reyes, who anchors the film with distress and panic, but also with basic humanity. Tasha Robinson-AV Club
Graceland mashes together suspense thriller with sobering child trafficking drama, with mixed results. Gabe Toro-The Playlist
Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlinale, Paolo and Vittorio Taviani's Caesar Must Die deftly melds narrative and documentary in a transcendently powerful drama-within-a-drama. The film was made in Rome's Rebibbia Prison, where the inmates are preparing to stage Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. After a competitive casting process, the roles are eventually allocated, and the prisoners begin exploring the text, finding in its tale of fraternity, power and betrayal parallels to their own lives and stories. Hardened criminals, many with links to organised crime, these actors find great motivation in performing the play. As we witness the rehearsals, beautifully photographed in various nooks and crannies within the prison, we see the inmates also work through their own conflicts, both internal and between each other. -- (C) Adopt If You Like this movie you can streaming Caesar Must Die movie without downloading HERE

It is almost an impertinence to think that we understand the thoughts of these actors and those in the audience who are relatives and friends. But this is the intriguing privilege that the Taviani brothers have given us. Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
A film somewhere between documentary and neo-realist drama. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
There's barely a wasted moment in the film, which runs a brisk 76 minutes and contains no female roles. Peter Howell-Toronto Star
There's an intensity and emotional accuracy to the performances that's just stunning, particularly Striano's Brutus, as he longs for death and release. Tom Long-Detroit News
It's an arresting, playful and moving film ... Dave Calhoun-Time Out
Prison theatricals are nothing new in the movies, but Caesar Must Die, a quasi-documentary featuring hardened convicts acting out Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, is in a class by itself. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
A clever if sometimes mystifying, combination of documentary, invention and post-modernism. Jay Stone-Canada.com
Destined to lose years in prison, the actors seem to take pride -- and solace -- in their association with something as seemingly immortal as Shakespeare's words. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
As they find issues and themes they can relate to, the action is never remotely static despite the frequent nature of the close-ups and the plastic sword. Graham Young-Birmingham Post
The problem with the film, which somewhat inexplicably won the Golden Bear at Berlin last year, is that it scarcely transcends the basic novelty of its premise. A.A. Dowd-Time Out Chicago
Profoundly moving. Philip French-Observer [UK]
The juxtaposition of Shakespearean text and prison cell life is a particularly poignant one. Tara Brady-Irish Times
It is difficult to understand exactly where documentary ends and fiction begins, but the finale, again in colour, of the triumphant first night of the production can't fail to move. Derek Malcolm-This is London
It's never anything less than interesting, though I felt it didn't quite fulfil its potential, and the repetition of material at the beginning and end is disconcerting. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
It is uncanny how Italy's film-makers keep failing to nail, or effectively to satirise, their country's strident political shortcomings. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Deeply felt melancholy lingers long after the credits roll. Glenn Heath Jr.-Little White Lies
Delivers a compelling and considered take on immemorial themes. Chris Buckle-The Skinny
[It] has plenty of wit and punch, although compared to the best of the medium - Man On Wire, for instance - it sometimes comes off as guileless and clunky. Patrick Peters-Empire Magazine
