"Easily one of the most powerful, heartfelt, and (yes, I’ll say it) important ‘nature’ documentaries I’ve ever seen...The film itself is an act of heroism, as it takes us knee-deep into some rather dangerous activities behind enemy lines — and the result is some footage that you must see to believe. It’s not for the squeamish, but it’s something you really should see. Just so you’ll get a little outraged.”
Scott Weinberg, Cinematical
 
"This powerful polemic is simultaneously a love letter to a beloved species, an eye-opening primer on worldwide dolphin captivity, a playful paranoid thriller and a work of deep-seated (if sometimes hot-headed) moral outrage. The devastating final images demand to be seen on the big screen.”
Justin Chang, Variety
"Louie Psihoyos’ Audience Award winner The Cove is much more than a social-issue doc, combining investigative reporting, educational filmmaking and eco-thriller elements that inspired repeat standing ovations at Sundance screenings.”
Justin Lowe, The Hollywood Review

"Paradoxical images of hardened criminals with voices like angels are uplifting from the outset, but Zimbabwe-born helmer, Michael Davie transcends feel-good shortcuts to unblinkingly explore convicts' lives...[A] soulful but rigorously tough documentary." Russell Edwards, Variety
