Mammoth

"A mixed bag, Mammoth is a good-looking, smoothly directed, continent-hopping drama about parents and children, globalization and the disconnect between rich and poor, but comes with too much repetitive exposition and lacks an emotional payoff."

"Moodysson braids these threads with contrived symmetries. The preaching soon grows wearisome."

"Mr. Moodysson has never met a pleasure he didn't want to punish."

"Mammoth is a perfectly decent film. Too bad it isn't more thoughtful. It's easy to regret misfortune if all you do is regret it."

"If one thinks of "Babel" minus the melodrama and histrionics, you get a clearer picture of what Moodysson has done here."

"A return to form by Moodysson although the bigger Iñárritu-like stuff - globalisation, poverty, fraying family relationships - are all a bit too neat to really engage."
