Reviews for this film from our members:
- Bill Clark @ FromTheBalcony
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: a double-barreled indictment of Seaworld, not only for its untruthful internal and media campaigns, but for the endangerment of its employees performing with the majestic mammals their practices literally drive mad.
- Dustin Freeley @ MoviesAboutGladiators.com
- Excerpt: Ignorance incarcerates both man and beast in Blackfish.
- John Gilpatrick @ John Likes Movies
- Excerpt: Blackfish is the kind of documentary that’s powerful and precise enough to actually make change happen.
- [New – 5/8/14] | A.J. Hakari @ CineSlice
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Blackfish is more than mere entertainment. It’s necessary viewing and one of the most important documentaries of the year.
- Dustin Jansick @ Way Too Indie
- Excerpt: A very moving documentary that is spectacularly told and edited, making an Oscar nomination very likely and a future trip to SeaWorld unimaginable.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A horrifying, heartbreaking eye-opener about human inhumanity to other intelligent and emotional beings who share our planet.
- Piers Marchant @ Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
- Jamie S. Rich @ DVD Talk
- Excerpt: Blackfish ends up painting a pretty shocking picture of corporate greed and the hubris of mankind. Who knew that Sea World was still big business?
- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: This is the most compelling take-away from Blackfish, the fact that it calls into question the biggest culprit of them all in this whole mess: Us, the public.
- Bill Weber @ Slant
- Andrew Wyatt @ Look/Listen (St. Louis Magazine)
- Excerpt: Cowperwaite cunningly employs the particulars of Tilikum’s story to demolish the fiction that marine parks are harmless family fun.
