...consistently elevated by Radcliffe's eye-opening, completely convincing performance.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 4, 2021

The changing dynamics of their friendship - especially Jackson's impressive portrayal of a physically depleted adventurer whose polished demeanour gradually unravels - give Jungle's second act a particularly vibrant hum of tension...

| May 2, 2021

Daniel Radcliffe is precisely the presence who can make a film like Jungle work, and the film largely succeeds by being carried on his shoulders.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 1, 2020

Some hallucinogenic episodes and fantasy sequences don't' really work, but Radcliffe's wild-eyed grit keeps us watching to the end.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 24, 2018

Radcliffe's portrayal of Yossi Ghinsberg in 'Jungle' is worthy of celebration for breaking the [Israeli] stereotype in Western movies.

With a solid performance from [Daniel] Radcliffe, Jungle could have been much better than it was... [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 8, 2018

In its best passages, the film manages to raise our adrenaline by showing the unpredictability that nature and man have in common. [Full review in Spanish]

If only because it is an account of real life, it's an interesting tale that's very easy to sit through and it marks some of Radcliffe's best acting to date.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 12, 2018

Some minor pacing issues aside, Jungle is, without a doubt, the most thrilling, exhilarating, and inspiring film I've seen this year.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 24, 2018

It's an incredibly gripping tale, the suspense and terror made more so by the knowledge this is a true story.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 27, 2017

This is a fact-based film that treads no new survival-drama ground, but it's well made, gruelling and watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 21, 2017

Jungle most definitely expands on the meaning of the expression "it's a jungle out there".

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2017

Radcliffe throws himself wholeheartedly into the physical demands of this role and the result is a harrowing journey from which it's hard to glean much optimism. The boy might live, but what will be left of him?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2017

By presenting the characters as psychological abstractions, McLean makes the story feel universal. He wants you to ask whether you'd be capable of surviving an experience like this.

| Nov 16, 2017

The direction is fine but the script and pacing is creaky to say the least, ultimately abandoning Jungle up the creek without a paddle.

| Nov 15, 2017

Unfortunately, [Daniel] Radcliffe doesn't have the breadth to find a middle register between grim, action movie determination and boyish charm, and suggest the required psychological complexity.

| Nov 9, 2017

While Jungle is not the ideal showcase for any actor - the scripting is wispy and the pacing is inordinately slack - Radcliffe gives everything a red hot go from start to finish.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 8, 2017

This is a solid movie about man versus nature.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 3, 2017

Extraordinary survivalist tale - and kudos to Daniel Radcliffe for rising to this grueling wilderness challenge.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 28, 2017

An odd picture, never really achieving an identity as something scary or profound, often spinning its wheels with aimless scenes while star Daniel Radcliffe carries the film with a fantastically committed lead performance.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 27, 2017
