Reviews:
Geoff Berkshire – Metromix: „Any filmmaker who attempts a drama with this kind of scope and philosophical contemplation risks looking pretentious or foolish, but the finer points make “Mammoth” worthwhile.”
Christopher Null - Filmcritic.com: „A remarkably subtle exploration of family in a time of capitalism.”
Top Critic: Joe Morgenstern - Wall Street Journal: „Mammoth manages to be as affecting as it is heartfelt.”
