	Media	Author	Review
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"In Daniel Sousa’s ghostly “Feral,” a wild child discovered by a hunter in a forest is brought back to civilization, where he doesn’t fit in."
		Tom Keogh Seattle Times	"The film’s stark, faceless figures and a town’s bold lines and misty lighting make “Feral” dreamlike."
		Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer	"Daniel Sousa, reimagines the "wild child" story of Francois Truffaut's 1970 film, making it something more primal and fierce."
		Ty Burr Boston Globe	"An eerie fable about a 19th-century wild child."
		Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times	"The most abstract and austere of the batch. Its expressionistic visuals barely distract from the hackneyed narrative and lack of closure."
		Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"A cold and surreal fever dream, featuring a boy raised around wolves finding little solace among his own kind."
