Duma Reviews
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Unlike many lesser movies aimed at families, this has heart, humor, thrilling adventure and stunning visuals.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Family films can be simplistic or condescending, but the joy of Carroll Ballard's work is that it's neither.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Like its title character, Duma has been left to fend for itself by Warner Bros., which is barely releasing it. A successful showing this weekend will prove that there really is an audience for this brand of thoughtful, literate family film.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
With ravenous alligators and lions on the prowl, Duma delivers familiar adventure, but Ballard refuses to cater to cuteness.
Dallas Morning News
Nancy Churnin
For those wishing they still made films like The Black Stallion, today is your lucky day.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Too suspenseful for the youngest children, but for anyone older than 8 or 9, it evokes nothing less than awe at the harsh beauty of the natural world.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
[Director] Ballard's dime-store philosophizing gets schmaltzy, but the emotions seem heartfelt. And as he has done in earlier movies, he incorporates some spectacular backdrops.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Ballard gets laughs where he's supposed to, and thrills in all the right places.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
I can't say enough about that magisterial cheetah.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
This soulful, piercingly beautiful story about a boy and his cheetah marks the welcome return to the screen of the director Carroll Ballard.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Carroll Ballard still works in his ravishing, nearly pointillistic style of organic visual splendor.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A pleasing fable reminiscent of G-rated nature movies of the '60s and '70s, before kiddie cinema required CGI or hip cultural references.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Simultaneously innocent and sophisticated, this honestly emotional fable shows why every Ballard film -- and his last was released almost a decade ago -- is a special event.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Ostensibly a children's movie, but adults will want to see it, too.
Newsday
John Anderson
Ballard treats the quandary faced by Xan and Duma with a sure hand.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
It's a crime what happened to the wonderful African wilderness movie Duma in 2005. Beautifully directed by veteran Carroll Ballard, Duma fell flat in the United States because of bad timing and abysmal marketing.
Washington Post
Philip Kennicott
Visually panoramic, a film that revels in making the expanse of a beautiful place palpable.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
A drama of uncommon beauty and emotional resonance about a boy's journey to return his pet cheetah to its natural habitat.
Slate
David Edelstein
I like it. Maybe not as much as those other pictures, but enough to bemoan a system in which family films have been so geared to kids (and their parents) with a kind of attention deficit disorder that it's inhospitable to a measured piece of storytelling.
Village Voice
Ben Kenigsberg
Surprisingly flat.
