The people in Haugerud’s humanist drama are ultimately more like cyphers than flesh-and-blood people.

The obviousness of it all inspires no tension, only impatience.

It’s a film that reminds you how much silly plotting you’ll accept as long as you’re laughing.

The people who stand to benefit the most from watching it are likely to avoid it after hearing what it’s trying to do.

It’s a great, though admittedly demanding, movie that draws us into a character’s mindset simply by showing us what their life is like.

There are Easter eggs for franchise-lovers aplenty, but this anthology stands mightily on its own.

It’s a series of silly events that get progressively ridiculous and bloodier.

Rather than taking a strong stance in one direction or another, “We Are Guardians” aims to sympathize with everyone involved.

The film never loses sight of the humanity beneath its quirky, furry exterior.

The scenes of the reunions are deeply moving.
