CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
julie-hinman This is a unique and passionate film. Passion shown within the relationships between the various characters including father and son, as well as for the need to change the way we view animals.We see that the global society in which we live has served to make us all caged and unfulfilled animals. A few are able to break out of this, in one way or another.The moral question is posed as to when people are driven by frustration and an ultimate compassion to act in a cruel way to other people, is this justified or is it acting no better than those who cause cruelty to animals? The characterisation and plot was well written and directed, with balance between action and quieter moments. I quite liked the slightly confused time line, as to me it reflected the fact that decisions and thoughts are not necessarily linear/logical. There were a couple of moments when the dialogue did become "preachy" which made me cringe. It is tricky to place facts in dialogue and maintain the believability of the characters, but I think on these occasions the message could have been brought across in a more subtle and less awkward way.This is a film which hopefully will make people aware of the extent and barbarity of our exploitation of other species which continues unrelenting every single day.Only a psychopath could view this film and not be affected in some way. Hopefully, people will not forget what they have been shown.
aristede99 At a recent screening I attended,the director of Bold Native described it as "a movie of ideas" and I give this film a lot of credit for addressing some of the moral complexity of the animal rights issue rather than just being a simple polemic. It doesn't demonize or romanticize either side too much. There is a lot of heart in Bold Native. It's fast-paced, colorful, youthful and fun while underscoring the urgency of helping animals during a time when non-violent animal liberators are being prosecuted as domestic terrorists. Bold Native reminds the viewer that Animal Rights is a human rights issue, too. See this movie!
jschluet I'm in love with this movie. I bought it the day it was available on DVD, and I've watched it 4 times since then (two weeks ago). It's a great movie for anyone who loves drama, who loves comedy, who loves adventure, who loves to question authority, and who has ever loved even a single animal in their life. I can't wait to see the next project from these filmmakers!! The production value is stunning considering it was an independent film. The performances are incredible. The writing/directing/editing is spot on- the people behind this project knew how to take a movie about animal liberation and make it exciting and intriguing rather than preachy and education. I can't think of a negative thing to say about this film. Please enjoy.
ulka-agarwal I saw the film in SF and loved it! I didn't know much about it before I watched it so I was pleasantly surprised. It is really well cast and well directed. Some farm industry footage was difficult to watch but well within the context of the film and not overdone. Really funny too despite the heavy theme. You don't have to be an "animal person" to enjoy or appreciate this film. It has an important message that is delivered in a way that makes you think about the choices we make in life and the consequences. So much of the dialogue is stuff I think or have said myself, so I could relate to the characters. Overall an entertaining and inspiring film!
