Movie Reviews

ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Betty Jo TuckerAn impressive feature film debut for filmmaker Lavinia Currier. With the exception of one scene that crosses the line, her work here shows intelligence, sensitivity, artistry, and courage.
Variety - 5/10 by Emanuel LevyPart an adventurous love story between a man and a leopard, part a metaphysical meditation about the mysteries of Nature, Lavinia Currier's feature directorial debut is dramatically inert but visually striking.
User Review - 10/10 by Elisa MThis movie is silent and gorgeous and brilliantly acted and erotic. It is not the tale of a man and a leopard who fall in love; the man falls in love with the leopard and all that she symbolizes; the desert and freedom from society's constraints. That's part of the reason why the ending is so heartbreaking. I love this film.
User Review - 10/10 by sean mOnly saw half, but I think my mouth was hanging open for 40 minutes. Its the Romeo and Juliet that could have been the Jungle Book, if that was the point Kipling was thinking of making. Anyway, this actor and his co-stars, a group of leopards put the most gentile of aristocrats to shame when they bask in the sun of the most breathtaking desert landscapes. Finding solace in the patient, graceful wilderness before the world of man encroaches from without.
User Review - 10/10 by steve gStrangely erotic, A French Soldier lost in the desert bonds with a leopard. Really cool movie and gotta tell ya, there's gratuitous male nudity......calm down ladies....lol.

User Review - 10/10 by Maxwell HThis is a masterpiece!Ben daniels played soo goo that i can say i haven't seen many actort better than him.Also i loved the part when that painter drinks his scuarrls.You must watch it
User Review - 10/10 by Adam GNear flawless execution; extremely unique and memorable; full of simple yet deep allegory. An almost perfect film.
User Review - 10/10 by Becky Eloved it so much the first time that i dreaded seeing it again. but it only proved as perfect and moving as before. ok, admitedly i love animals! but its beyond that. there is just such poetry and generosity in this tale of passion that you have to be really brutish not to be sucked in. it's nearly entirely shot in petra (jordan), how much dreamier can it get? the music by jose nieto is one of the best ost i've heard and is spiritual without being corny. see it. try it. give it a chance. it might not do it for you. but if it does, you'll adore it.
