Watching THE COVE makes you wonder exactly who is the intelligent species -- man or the dolphins. My vote is on the dolphins and on people like Ric O'Barry and Louie Psihoyos.

Behind The Lens
3 stars out of 4 -- It has the breathless pace of a BOURNE movie, but none of the comfort of fiction. This is documentary filmmaking at its most exciting and purposeful.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 4/5 --
One would imagine, and hope, that an Oscar nomination beckons.
London Evening Standard
THE COVE offers a lot to think about in terms of the future of fishing....Whiel dropping facts and arguments left and right, Psihoyos is simultaneously staging a slick, nail-biting caper film.
A.V. Club
Rating: 4/4 --
One of the most suspenseful documentaries ever made, "The Cove" marries ecological espionage to a frightening domino effect of imperialism, political corruption and a socio-environmental disregard.

The Film Yap
4 stars out of 4 -- THE COVE, a heartbreaking documentary, describes how Richard O'Barry, director Louie Psihoyos and a team of adventurers penetrated the tight security around the Taiji cove adn obtained forbidden footage of the mass slaughter of dolphins.
Chicago Sun-Times
THE COVE is the rare documentary specifically designed as a thriller....Its images of blood in the water are worth a thousand preachy words. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
