Reviews for Your Mommy Kills Animals
Can't commit to an overview of the movement by looking at three groups or stick with the trial of the "SHAC 7." So an intriguing but too short tour of animal-rights issues is interrupted by a flatly chronicled court case.
08/14/07
With a subject that holds as much venom as this one does, Mommy remains amazingly poised.
06/08/07
It isn’t only organization that the mildly anarchic Your Mommy Kills Animals sorely lacks, it’s also a sufficient number of sources.
08/30/07
That one can’t quite decide if these charming men are heroes or villains is a mark of Johnson’s calm, even approach to an issue seemingly fueled by emotions run amok.
09/27/07
David Martosko, of the Center for Consumer Freedom, carries the film's obscured theme that "morality" is a religious-based ploy used by all sides of the animal abuse debate that lead the FBI to rank animal-rights activists as the No.1 terrorist threat in
06/10/07
Johnson's not pushing buttons just for the sake of attention-getting, he's revealing just how hopelessly complicated the issue has grown.
11/17/07
...a flawed yet remarkably even-handed look at an extraordinarily contentious issue.
06/12/07
This film shines a clear light on the dark controversy surrounding our treatment of animals.
05/26/07
Worth seeing by anyone who cares about animals.
10/12/07
A documentary that both informs and entertains, and that will invite animated debate--which is precisely what a good documentary should do.
06/06/07
While avoiding the most important travesty--the use of animals for food--the documentary does efficiently illustrate the arguments for an against the use of animals for research and fur.
06/11/07
A smart, comprehensive doc.
08/06/07
Hard to beat that title, ain't it?
08/15/07
Powerful, angry and bizarre documentary.
09/06/07
It's the best kind of documentary, in that if you're a thinking person it is nearly impossible to watch the movie without having your point of view challenged and questioned.
07/20/07
Interesting and sometimes dizzyingly freewheeling.
08/03/07
covering a wide canvas of animal welfare and rights issues that rightfully will provoke meaningful discussion
05/28/07
A miraculously evenhanded treatment of a snarlingly divisive debate.
04/25/07
Top CriticCouldn't have arrived at a more timely moment, given the recent arrest of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick on federal charges for hanging, drowning, electrocuting and beating dogs to death.
