Reception
[edit]Ard Vjin of Screen Anarchy gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The documentary parts are interesting enough but in my opinion the thriller parts lets the film down by poor plotting and acting."[4]
Michael Nordine of Film Threat gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Through these two men, Aardvark reveals itself as a film whose primary focus isn't adaptability (as the implied metaphor of its title might suggest) but rather the ways in which strength and weakness pull us in opposing directions, as well as our unfortunate tendency to be more swayed by the latter."[5]
