Joyful discovery and dry legalities in dino documentary.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 3, 2020

Provoking outrage at injustice, Dinosaur 13 is an emotional and inspiring watch for any viewer.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 11, 2019

Miller keeps you absorbed in Sue's tale despite the legal shenanigans that take up most of the film; he keeps it simple, focusing on the story of Larson, a passionate, smart and lovable expert.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2019

Riveting entertainment, Dinosaur 13 is one of those happy accidents of documentary filmmaking.

| Original Score: B | Mar 26, 2016

This labor-of-love portrait of those who labor in the dirt for love of dinosaurs is also a chronicle of the ways in which the modern legal system can threaten the preservation of even prehistory.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 29, 2015

Any documentary can be slanted to a particular point of view, but most filmmakers try to be a bit more subtle. Cry me a river, "Dinosaur 13."

| Original Score: D | Jan 8, 2015

Even if the filmmaking is one-sided, the story is more compelling than it sounds.

We see much of both sides in Dinosaur 13.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2014

After a promising half-hour or so, "Dinosaur 13" becomes less convincing and less involving, particularly as the real-life narrative peaks halfway through.

| Original Score: C | Aug 23, 2014

Yet another fine documentary outing for 2014.

| Aug 22, 2014

Dinosaur 13 is a David and Goliath tale of a small group of scientists thrust into the center of a national debate over proprietorship, as well as right versus wrong.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 22, 2014

Cleverly assembled to tell a complex true story from a hugely engaging perspective, this documentary can't help but spark a sense of righteous rage in the audience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 21, 2014

The storytelling raises more logistical and legal questions than it's equipped to answer. But what Miller does have, for anyone unfamiliar with Sue's fate, is a story with a suspenseful climax.

| Aug 20, 2014

In his eagerness to create a David-and-Goliath story, and with his distractingly pro-BHI bias, Mr. Miller fails to ask a lot of questions.

| Aug 18, 2014

What starts out as a really riveting story of passionate scientists and the find of a lifetime becomes an unfocused dig at the federal government.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2014

This is a bare-bones documentary, lacking in roar.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2014

The bittersweet end does genuinely unfair things to the heart strings. Do not miss.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2014

The actions of both these vilified parties are so seemingly irrational that you're left feeling there must be some explanation, one that director Todd Douglas Miller either couldn't or wouldn't ferret out.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 15, 2014

Finding and Losing the World's Most Complete T-Rex

| Aug 15, 2014

...no treat for kids enthralled by dinosaurs or Jurassic Park adventures, but another wake-up call about injustices that slip through a porous legal system and sock the powerless.
