Koko: A Talking Gorilla Ratings & Reviews
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
It confronts the viewer with several questions that cannot be easily answered, providing considerable food for thought.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Mr. Schroeder has assembled this funny, provocative documentary with gratifying intelligence and care.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
Sprinkled comments provide enough intellectual provocation to begin debate, but the main course is Koko's wide-ranging behavior.

Christopher Null

Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
To swipe a lame pun from a Tales from the Crypt comic, Koko is sure the gorilla of my dreams.
