“An immense film whose ideas and images resonate long after it's been watched, Some Beasts announces Nelson as a significant, uncompromising new voice in American independent cinema, taking on national obsessions fearlessly and finding something new to say about a subject that has obsessed so many film-makers recently.”

 —Graham Williamson, Vérité Film Magazine

 

"A masterpiece of organic imagery, passionate performances and deeply felt grace …Cameron Nelson has given us a thing a beauty, a pure form of the medium. There is not another film like this in the world, and no other voice like Nelson’s.”

—Rachel Gibson Shepherd, Truth on Cinema


“A must-see…Some Beasts reminds me of early David Gordon Green films… lost and deeply flawed characters living in a hole-in-the-wall location most of the world has forgotten about.”

—Chase Whale, Dallas Observer

"...Regional films with this sort of depth and artistry are a welcome addition to the canon of American independent cinema, and in a culture where everything is in danger of being co-opted, sorely needed."

—Michael McWay, Hammer to Nail


"A realistic look at the life of a modern-day organic farmer including all its beauty as well as its many tribulations…Some Beasts cinematically showcases the breathtaking landscape of rural America...the land itself becomes as much a character as the people who inhabit it."

—Jessica Tomberlin, Dallas CultureMap


"Some Beasts has a spirit and heartbeat that make it very special…Mosley gives an award worthy performance.”

—Matt Mungle, The Mungle on Movies
