Cocaine Bear

“This dark comedy, co-produced and directed by Elizabeth Banks, is a non-stop ride. Complete with gore, sick humour and characters (including the bear) that quickly attach themselves to the audience, this film satisfies so many low-end viewing pleasures that it’s a film you want to see again just to confirm that yes, that WAS indeed what you just saw.”

John Kirk, Original-Cin · 91

“Cocaine Bear is a thrilling binge of adrenaline that you won’t regret in the morning.”

Alonso Duralde, TheWrap · 88

“Impressively, however, director Elizabeth Banks keeps the powder gags fresh throughout, as the mammal maims her way through a Southern forest preserve. The movie about blow never blows.”

Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post · 88

“Cocaine Bear is a film worthy of its title, and perfectly constructed to feel like the kind of cult horror movie you’d find on a dusty VHS tape somewhere in a stoner’s basement. It’s bloody and grotesque, at times quite dark, but also surprisingly endearing.”

Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent · 80

“So what we have here is a coked-out bear on a murder spree and, honestly, it’s literally everything I would want from a movie called Cocaine Bear.”

Mike Ryan, Uproxx · 80
