Plot summary

After decades of hurricanes and oil spills, Louisiana faces a new threat - hordes of monstrous 20 pound swamp rats. Known as "nutria", these invasive South American rodents breed faster than bounty hunters can "control" them. With their orange teeth and voracious appetite they are eating up the coastal wetlands that protects Thomas and his town of Delacroix Island from hurricanes, but the people who have lived here for generations will not give up without a fight.

This is a fascinating and entertaining film. The filmmakers affection for the nutria-nists is palpable. A real joy.

While the trio who made 'Rodents of an Unusual Size' have a great concept, it's littered with tangents. When the filmmakers stay on the subject of the animals they find gold. There are people tied into the hunting of the rodents and there is backstory though muddied. The documentary morphs into a global climate change doc and other areas, but oddly sometimes conservatives are on the side of preserving in certain aspects and this is one. These animals have destroyed land and are invasive. Louisiana fisherman Thomas Gonzales is a tangent that works. His tale makes the movie. He has a likability that several other characters just didn't have. Also we learn here that sometimes animal rights groups aren't great for the society on a hole. There are sometimes shades of grey or nuance. Totally worth checking out! Final Score: 7.3/10

Rodents of Unusual Size is part zoology lesson

Rodents of Unusual Size is part zoology lesson, part environmental impact statement, part unflinching look into the recklessness and resiliency of human nature, with a bit of horror film mixed in. Beautifully filmed in the swamplands of Louisiana, Rodents is so engaging that it was even hard for me to look away during a few gory scenes. And I am someone who goes to great lengths to avoid walking past the butcher case in a supermarket. Watch this film! It is a story you are not likely to hear about anywhere else.
