Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

grovtack I am very open minded, and i like a lot of movies, even poor ones, but seriously, Andreas Wilsons acting in this movie is so bad that its just ridiculous, nay, its beyond ridiculous. It is bad, real bad. It is painful to watch, paaaaaainful. The movie itself could have been interesting if the acting was not so unbelievably weak. I Would have given it a 1, but because the serial killer guys acting was the best part of the movie it gets a 2! I am also from Sweden and i just wanted to bash his head for sucking so hard at acting, how the hell can anyone even hire this guy? And he tries it international, ha ha...dude.Do not watch this horrible movie unless you wanna suffer, it is really that bad, believe me.

mario_c Animal is a curious movie. It's a kind of Sci-Fi thriller about the violence and the evilness that exits in nature. The animals have this instinct to kill in order to survive, but "man is the only one that kills for pleasure".A genetic scientist (Andreas Wilson) will try to change this tendency to violence in the Human nature doing a new experience in a serial killer (Diogo Infante) who brutally killed some young girls. This "treatment" is expected to turn him into a pacific person eliminating his "killer instinct"… It's the topic of this film, and the original idea is quite good I must say, because it relates a very polemic topic: is it ethically correct that genetics might change the most deeply characteristics of the Human nature, like love, hate, anger, rage, kindness? … it's all part of our nature! The most interesting part of the film is precisely put the viewer thinking about this issue, but the rest of the movie is not so good… In my opinion all story turns a bit superficial, because the main characters aren't as deep as they should be.

Guillaume Louyot Using the brain as main enemy in every parts of relation ship and life commitments, Roselyne Bosch drives the audience in a flow of great photography, addictive actors (especially the yummy girl) and well balanced actions. You think you can cure others ? Beware of what you are first. A film to see, especially if you guys are, like many of us, trying often to mimic animals to accept their rage, jealousness and way of life : instinct first. Even if you are the smarter one, you can loose yourself at playing this. After providing nice scripts (1492...), Roselyne shows us she can definitely manage a filmcrew to deserve her project. Mr Goldman did not think wrong when accepting to produce this movie. A man with Casino listed in his produced movies listing cannot be wrong.

suzannedipasquale the actors are great, wild, and some scenes are so hot. andreas Wilson is wild as an animal. the directing is amazing, especially for a first time director. it's a real thriller and real sci fi at same time. with the type of future completely new and credible. no gadget there. strange and spectacular. not the cheap/trendy usual look of most indies. the director shows she KNOWS how to do this. sometimes, you get the feeling that new directors are filming with the "amateur" style, because they CANT do it in a different fashion. not with "animal". i glad i made that discovery. and also: it deals with violence, but does not crawl into it. a class act. wish more filmmakers had so much respect for their audience, these days...
