Reviews

“God’s Creatures is ultimately a movie about the collision between a mother’s fidelity and her moral conscience, and Watson is terrific at telegraphing how these instincts grind against each other to terrifying ends.”

Natalia Winkelman
The New York Times

“Holmer and Davis demonstrate a remarkable control over tone, performance and visual and aural storytelling, applying their sensibility to the taut, perfectly structured script by Shane Crowley.”

Katie Walsh
TheWrap

“Occasionally, it tips over into the overwrought… but the essence of God’s Creatures is fascinating as we watch the force of women row back against the status quo.”
