3 stars out of 4 -- THE BEAVER is a potent provocation about the bruises inflicted from just being human. Foster's film and Gibson's grieving performance bring that point forcefully and feelingly home.
Rolling Stone
Gibson fully conveys the suicidal depression that ails his aptly named character, Walter Black....This is high-quality work from a professional... -- Grade: B-
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/4 --
[Gibson offers] one of the most subtly complex turns of his long career, single-handedly pulling off Foster's strange, imperfect but ultimately affecting dramedy.

The Oklahoman
Rating: 3/5 --
Gibson, of course, is well suited right now to playing a man in pain. But he has little chemistry with Foster, who plays the woman who gives him more chances than he deserves.

Washington Examiner
Rating: 3/5 --
Fitfully compelling, a welcome antidote to more formulaic Hollywood fare, and deserving of more than embarrassed sniggers.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 2/5 --
It's commendable to capture depression on film, but a talking rodent and a fallen star aren't the way to do so.

Little White Lies
It's a bummer of a movie -- dark and at cross-purposes with both itself and any image do-over [Gibson] might be seeking.

Product Description:
A successful businessman and loving father finds a unique means of coping with his debilitating mental illness in this drama from director Jodie Foster. When Walter Black (Mel Gibson) finds himself stuck in a downward spiral, the chance discovery of a beat-up beaver hand puppet offers him a unique opportunity to pull himself back from the brink. By using The Beaver to speak with others, Walter develops the abilities to express the suppressed feelings that were slowly eating him away from the inside.
