Critic Reviews for The Penguin Counters

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (2)

  • Although imparting an important message ... The Penguin Counters is too rambling and diffuse to have significant impact while lacking the accessible qualities that would make it appeal to younger audiences.

    Hollywood Reporter

  • Here's what sounds like one dud job: calculating bird populations in Antarctica. But here's what that work has inspired: one swell documentary.

    Ken Jaworowski

    New York Times

  • The whole experience feels as if it were an abbreviated video diary rather than a comprehensive documentary.

    Film Inquiry

  • An engaging look at the preservation of a creature that, with the single exception of pandas, has probably brought more joy to us than any other living creature.
