(1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1   "Herzog, who remains immune to Treadwell's projections and to his self-regard, works here as a poet of the first order [in Ruskin's hierarchy]."   Blogcritics.org   Alan Dale "As a character critique it is hardly a mauling, for Herzog is too sophisticated a thinker, too respectful towards his subject, and altogether too humane to tear Treadwell apart for a second time."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel C+ "Herzog comes across as the worst kind of cinematic jackass—the filmmaker who doesn't trust his own work to speak for itself."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna 80/100 "A tremendous achievement, despite its niggling flaws."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 2.5/4 "Herzog's obituary to eco-warrior Timothy Treadwell is often intriguing but ultimately feels oddly -- and sadly -- senseless."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3.5/4 "...fascinating..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "If grizzly man Timothy didn't die, the film most likely would not have been made."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 9/10 "exceptionally powerful documentary"   Draxblog Movie Reviews   Dragan Antulov 3.5/4 "A profound, fair-minded, astonishing cinematic work, and maybe the most gratifying and complete documentary release since Bowling for Columbine."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B+ "This is a riveting film, made all the more fascinating because it's true."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Notable for its depiction of nature as alien and unforgiving, frightening in its cold majesty."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "Que a nadie le quede duda alguna, este es el show de Treadwell, y es la naturaleza humana -no la animal- la verdadera materia de análisis."   Doncinema.com   Flavio J. Arosemena A- "A film that's at once beautiful, horrifying, tragic, uplifting, grimly humorous and unutterably sad, and it's among Herzog's very best."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A mesmerizing documentary by Werner Herzog about a young man obsessed with grizzly bears in the Alaskan wilderness."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "Compelling material from start to finish."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "chilling"   Perihelion Journal   Jay Antani 3.5/4 "A story of astonishing beauty and dark turmoil."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 10/10 "A psychological smorgasbord."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3.5/4 "Veteran director Werner Herzog finds factual subject matter that feels right up his thematic alley in Grizzly Man."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman '3.75/5' "The movie holds the same intriguing and absorbing appeal as John Krakauer's non-fiction bestseller Into the Wild."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 4/4 "Funny, sad, horrific, philosophical, poetic, sometimes all at the same time. This is an amazing piece of cinema."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A- "Timothy Treadwell is, indeed, the perfect Werner Herzog subject"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/5 "His film is a subtle and deeply moving tribute to a flawed idealist who saw kinship in bears' eyes, where Herzog sees only the abysmal indifference of nature."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4.5/5 "Out of those 100 hours of footage, a filmmaker could have made dozens of possible documentaries. The one that Herzog chose to make is a compelling, crazy near-masterpiece."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "In Treadwell's hearbreaking tale, Herzog finds a near-perfect encapsulation of his career-long obsession with investigating man's thorny relationship with nature."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 5/5 "Uma das maiores obras-primas da carreira de um cineasta que vem conquistando, ao longo dos últimos 44 anos, um lugar mais do que merecido entre os ícones da Sétima Arte."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3.5/5 "The results are by turns fascinating, horrifying, and maddening."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar A "Transcendent and absorbing, depicting our place in the universe with ferocious honesty and unflinching strength."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "Perhaps in Treadwell, Herzog sees a reflection of the mad conquistador of 'Aguirre The Wrath of God.'"   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "Grizzly Man works on many levels and, while not perfect and a little lopsided, it is definitely worth the time and effort to watch."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 1/5 "Bear ambition"   JWR   S. James Wegg 4.5/5 "A heartbreaking cautionary tale for those who "love" nature more than they "understand" it."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg A "Herzog the dreamer genuinely respects Treadwell... but it's Treadwell's contradictions and controversies that fascinate Herzog the filmmaker..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "Makes us feel like kids at a Punch and Judy show wanting to shout out "Behind you!""   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Shane Burridge B- "At turns fascinating and banal… a film that dances around vital questions about the human condition that it is barely able to articulate, let alone address."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 4/4 "By the time Grizzly Man ends, you hope the grizzly bear that ate him took its time."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1
