Critic Reviews of "Tyrannosaur"
Boston GlobeMarch 01, 2012The movie is cruelly frank about the ways damage cascades down to the powerless, but while it's not for the fainthearted (or for animal lovers), rewards are there.
Globe and MailJanuary 27, 2012The principals are superb, with Mullan and Colman doing a masterful job of inhabiting their separate but equal prisons.
Toronto StarJanuary 26, 2012You won't find two finer performances in recent times than those by Mullan and Colman, who in a perfect world would each have received Oscar nominations this week.
Seattle TimesDecember 08, 2011If the script ultimately seems a bit extreme (are there no immediate consequences for Joseph's tantrums or the criminal outbursts of Hannah's abusive husband?), it's often surprisingly successful in pushing the limits of British kitchen-sink drama.
Chicago ReaderDecember 01, 2011Paddy Considine's first feature as writer-director comes off like a playwriting exercise, with familiar characters taking every opportunity to wage messy, cathartic arguments or exhume traumatic memories.
Chicago TribuneDecember 01, 2011The acting - particularly the moving performance of Olivia Colman as a battered spouse living in a grim corner of Leeds, England - is fierce and committed. So why doesn't its impact linger?
TheShiznit.co.ukSeptember 28, 2012Tyrannosaur is cinema that scars the soul - you'll only want to see it once, but once is enough.
Reeling ReviewsFebruary 22, 2012Considine equates the denizens of a Leeds housing estate with caged beasts and Mullan's performance is beautifully calibrated - a snarling, dangerous surface hiding the loyalty and affection which can be found underneath.
Boston PhoenixFebruary 22, 2012It sounds like an exercise in miserabilism, but Considine extracts black comedy, compassion, and dignity from his downtrodden characters and their blighted setting.
MovieFreak.comJanuary 27, 2012More so, as familiar as a lot of this Considine does a great job of making it feel fresh and original even if little of it actually is, giving his finished film a lived-in quality that's undeniable.
