- Excerpt: Andrea Arnold’s “Cow” is all the more powerful because of the humane conditions of the farm she has chosen to document. We may never know what Luma is thinking, but this sympathetic portrait makes her unforgettable.
- [New] | Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: COW is a cinema verite documentary that follows the life of a dairy cow in England. This is the bovine version of THE TRUMAN SHOW, though the environment is real rather than artificially created.

- Excerpt: [Its objectivity] renders the film a litmus test more than anything else since its portrait of imprisoned souls is projected upon by its audience rather than projecting an agenda of its own onto them.

- Excerpt: But as I gaze at the mother cow’s face in Arnold’s film, there seems to be something else, some bond I feel with universal life, where I can’t help but feel compassion and responsibility.
