CRITICS OF "The Beaver"

Amy Curtis

Jodie Foster's The Beaver had its moments, but the overall premise just didn't fly. I just couldn't buy the idea of the talking puppet.

Dave Calhoun

Beyond the initial idea, this is kid gloves filmmaking, when what we need is a bit more of the gloves-off stuff.

June 15, 2011

Resource

Roe McDermott

The quirky concept and Gibson's powerhouse performance give The Beaver unexpected resonance.

March 14, 2016

Resource

Claudia Puig

For a film about the real problem of mental illness, it never feels authentic. Depression is not something neatly tied up. If this is meant as an allegory, it's vague and unconvincing.

May 20, 2011

Resource

Will Leitch

Thinks it's a whimsical tale of a man finding himself, but Gibson thinks it's the tale of a man losing his mind.

June 22, 2013

Resource

Sean Burns

It doesn't quite work, but it does provide something of a cinematic exorcism for the public's increasingly conflicted relationship with Gibson.

May 12, 2015

Resource

Ben Kendrick

A unique and thoughtful project that showcases a charming, as well as unconventional, character journey -- and one of Gibson's best roles to date.

Mel Gibson's last hurrah

January 14, 2013

David Germain

With The Beaver, Gibson shows that for all his personal turmoil, he still may have a career in the twilight years.

May 20, 2011

Resource

Leah Rozen

It's a bummer of a movie -- dark and at cross-purposes with both itself and any image do-over [Gibson] might be seeking.

October 07, 2011

Resource

Tom Long

The acting throughout -- Foster, Lawrence, Yelchin -- is superb, and this may well be Gibson's finest performance, just as it's Foster's most balanced job of directing.

May 20, 2011

Resource

Lisa Kennedy

The film is amusing, then melancholy, then weirdly funny, then not. It's a quiet, measured work.
