Mpaa Rating : PG-13
Actors :Garry Harris,Stephanie Lafarge,Jenny Lee Wright,Laura Ann Petitto,Joyce Butler,Bill Tynan,Renee Falitz,Bob Ingersoll,James MahoneyFrom the team behind Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee who in the 1970s became the focus of a landmark experiment which aimed to show that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured like a human child. Following Nim's extraordinary journey through human society, and the enduring impact he makes on the people he meets along the way, the film is an unflinching and unsentimental biography of an animal we tried to make human. What we learn about his true nature - and indeed our own - is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling. -- (C) Roadside Attractions

Some New Trailer For Project Nim
New Review For Movie Project Nim
This haunting life story is an exquisite example of non-fiction filmmaking as full-bodied, emotionally complex drama.
David Rooney-Hollywood Reporter Project Nim nimbly serves up a profoundly sad tale that raises as many thought-provoking questions as it answers.
Leah Rozen-The Wrap This many-faceted time capsule sheds little light, but buried inside it are vexing questions and the still-beating heart of a special creature.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch You end up fearing for the humans who contact him. At the same time, you feel his rage.
John Hartl-Seattle Times You're left with the impression that, despite not being able to grasp basic human grammar, perhaps Nim was unwittingly conditioned into understanding the concept of love.
David Jenkins-Time Out For the second film in a row, Marsh has created a movie we can't keep our eyes off.
Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail This smart doc should prove the perfect summer antidote to most of summer's films that require you to turn your brain off to enjoy them.
Cory Everett-The Playlist If there's one thing Marsh knows, it's how to reach your deepest emotions. He did it with 'Man on Wire,' and he does it again here.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger A fascinating, unflinching and tragic documentary about the chimpanzee we tried to make human.
Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground A tragic chronicle of animal abuse.
Phil Hall-EDGE Boston Like an orphan out of Dickens, Nim is a sorrowful figure buffeted by the winds of the greedy, selfish and more powerful...
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm One of the 10 best films of 2011.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing This is one of those great documentaries which could be transposed almost without change into a heartbreaking Hollywood tearjerker.
Shaun Munro-What Culture There is no question Nim was exploited for human gain, yet there are important aspects which Marsh leaves unexplored.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Nim's story is so fascinating and telling... that it would probably be impossible for even the very worst of filmmakers to screw it up, and Marsh is not the worst of filmmakers.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy Writer-director James Marsh mines yet another long-forgotten slice of '70s madness.
James Croot-Flicks.co.nz It is the sad story of an animal whose fate is left in the hands of people--some well-meaning, some not so much--who are error-prone, unprepared for dealing with a chimpanzee, and often uncaring.
Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews In a way, Nim's life journey mirrors our own, particularly if we end up alone, no longer having much control over what happens to us.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope Tales of the attacks Nim inflicted on his many carers are horrific, but there is a pervasive sense there was nothing else they could have expected.
Jim Schembri-The Age (Australia) This tale of a hard done by chip places a light on when unethical scientific research and the post 1960s counterculture combine to create an experiment done wrong in Project Nim.
Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews ...succeeds as theater, as entertainment, but it doesn't really attempt what Terrace tried, in his admittedly morally clumsy way. What is the light in those feral eyes and what does it mean? Can we ever hope to know?
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette The film teases us with a paradox: arguably Nim's keepers were wrong to try to endow their protege with human attributes, but can we empathise with his suffering without making the same mistake?
Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia) Funny at times, but also deeply sad, it's a truly fascinating and well made documentary.
David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) Marsh's film is as much a study of how we behave as a species as it is of what happens to Nim. And we don't come off particularly well.
