Animalia is a quiet, thoughtful film with grand things on its mind that it tackles with impressive confidence, to great success.

With a strong central performance from Oumaïma Barid and remarkable cinematography, the experience of watching the film is arresting enough that its elusiveness becomes an asset rather than a hindrance.

"Animalia" aims for a holistic view of the world, the oneness of all things.

Eye for Film

Pregnancy is often depicted as a state of enhanced vulnerability, and one which points the way to increased dependency. Here, Alaoui turns that around.

Rated: 4.5/5

Third Coast Review

The film is intimate, personal and stems from a woman who doesn’t like being reminded of her roots, unless it suits her needs and it finds its footing when it tackles issues like class bias and standing up for yourself when you absolutely need to.

Rated: 3/4
