Well made, character driven story with an ensemble (if B grade) cast. Not a documentary as I expected, but a fictionalised drama. More about the people involved... Read More

A great premise that is lost on this ham fisted and poorley executed film. This movie does for animal activists what Land of the Dead does for Zombies. Read More

It would have been better as a documentary, but Linklater is great at creating interesting characters, and that at least saves the film's dramatic clumsiness. Read More
