From visionary director Andy Serkis, and featuring the voices of Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Glenn Close, and Woody Harrelson, comes a satirical allegory of revolution and power. Animal Farm traces how a movement for equality is systematically corrupted. As the pigs consolidate control, truth is erased, dissent is crushed, and the farm descends into a ruthless dictatorship--fulfilling Orwell’s warning about the dangers of communism.

Parables about the corrupting influence of power and crude fart jokes can theoretically co-exist, just like animals in the barnyard. However, they need proper shepherding. As opposed to what Serkis did — drive the whole damn movie off a cliff. Go to Full Review

The bizarre achievement of this new film is to make us feel trapped and punished through every phase of the story. It looks so unremittingly horrid, well before Napoleon’s ascendancy to become a fascist, paranoid despot. Go to Full Review

While it may struggle to satisfy diehard Orwell purists, the film still takes a political stance and delivers an emphatic message celebrating equality and the power of the collective. Go to Full Review

This gorgeously animated version is not outwardly trying to be political but nevertheless is uncannily meeting its time and proving to be a little too close for comfort to America’s drift toward authoritarianism. Go to Full Review
