Boxoffice Magazine
This could have been a slick little thriller. Instead, it evolves into the unfolding of an epic tragedy.

Among the most gripping, well-paced, acted and directed, and generally thrilling of anything that I've seen (yet) this year.

Animal Kingdom joins in the tradition of brutally unsentimental Australian crime dramas like "The Boys," in which the stakes are low, except to the people staring down the barrel of a gun.

The Hollywood Reporter
A naturalistic drama rich in psychology and attention to details. There's no glamour here, but one false move by anyone can result in death, so tension fills nearly every scene.
