Perhaps the greatest service Johnson does is to turn the event that spurred him to make the film -- the FBI labeling animal rights activists the top domestic terrorist threat -- into a crucial dialogue.

Reviews for Your Mommy Kills Animals
Top CriticA miraculously evenhanded treatment of a snarlingly divisive debate.
04/25/07
Top CriticHard to beat that title, ain't it?
08/15/07
Powerful, angry and bizarre documentary.
09/06/07
A smart, comprehensive doc.
08/06/07
It lets you off dizzy and confused, whereas the best documentaries leave you feeling that you've come to a settled perspective on a subject.
08/03/07
Top CriticWhat may be the finest documentary of the year also is the most difficult to watch. I wept unashamedly at the brief videos of real-life animal abuse in "Your Mommy Kills Animals," and you may, too.
06/30/07
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
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
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
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
It's impossible to watch without having your point of view challenged – no matter which side of the issue you're on.
08/06/07
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
Your Mommy Kills Animals lays things out with historical perspective, tracing the roots of both the animal welfare movement and animals rights activism to England.
11/19/07
Your Mommy Kills Animals is eye-opening in the truest sense of the word. I was riveted from start to finish. This is one of the year's best films.
06/14/07
Worth seeing by anyone who cares about animals.
10/12/07
covering a wide canvas of animal welfare and rights issues that rightfully will provoke meaningful discussion
05/28/07
...a flawed yet remarkably even-handed look at an extraordinarily contentious issue.
06/12/07
With a subject that holds as much venom as this one does, Mommy remains amazingly poised.
06/08/07
Terrific documentary on the animal rights movement that allows all sides in the debate to make their points.
