  • Critic Reviews of "Whale Rider"

    Variety
    July 22, 2008

    Newcomer Castle-Hughes' unaffected, confident turn makes it credible our heroine might retain her determination and self-worth despite serial setbacks.

    Newsweek
    November 01, 2007

    The filmmaker knows how to seduce an audience without making it feel had. When a movie's this likable, it would take a very tough crowd not to be pleased.

    Time Out
    January 26, 2006

    Niki Caro roots her characters in a landscape equal parts mundane and boundless, incorporates tantalising sea photography and Lisa's Gerrard's ambient soundtrack, and lifts off into a sublime, Elysian ending.

    Houston Chronicle
    July 03, 2003

    The most effective and moving female empowerment movie in awhile.

    San Francisco Chronicle
    June 27, 2003

    [The story] is so simple that the audience gets ahead of it from the beginning.

    Orlando Sentinel
    June 27, 2003

    The film is closer to a feminist tract. And, like all propaganda, it wants to do all of your thinking for you.

    both an effective snapshot of the challenges which modernity brings to indigenous cultures, and a neat illustration of the power of myths to adapt.

    Common Sense Media

    Excellent to watch and discuss as a family.

    Cinema Crazed

    This is what a children's film should be like.

    Sacramento News & Review
    August 07, 2008

    The movie's story is a sometimes clumsy but gradually involving coming-of-age story about courage, sexism, past customs vs. contemporary social values and a community and family at odds within themselves.

    Paste Magazine
    June 03, 2008

    The third act -- where all our predictions come true -- has a quiet dignity and, although it moves from A to B as expected, how it gets there is surprisingly mysterious.

    KWQC-TV (Iowa)
    June 03, 2005

    "Whale Rider" is a mystical, gentle movie that goes beyond the boundaries of the usual coming-of-age film.
