	Media	Author	Review
		Jason Bailey The Guardian	"[What’s striking] is how much Buscemi trusts his actors to tell the story implicitly, in pauses, between the lines"
		Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"'Animal Factory' is a picture about adapting one's instincts, and Mr. Buscemi's deftness works well in this context."
		Alex Raynor Empire	"Steady-handed direction and a number of strong performances (...) [make it] a well-paced and thoughtful prison drama (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jamie Russell BBC	"Masterfully handled by Buscemi (...) 'Animal Factory' is a brave successor to the indie charm of 'Trees Lounge' (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Variety	"[It] is always engaging, with humor, intrigue and suspense deftly blended"
