Coeurs sauvages

Who played the Mayor? His face is so familiar, I believe he is a long time character actor with a possible first name of James? Can anyone help with this? The IMDb cast list is incomplete and when the credits rolled after the movie, it went too fast, and the print was reduced to accommodate advertising. So we couldn't read the remainder of the cast.

Is there any way to know WHERE the movie was filmed? The scenery is breathtaking. It looks like Montana or Wyoming. Was this a trained adult wolf or is this another miracle of computerization? This rating should be at least a 12 in my books. Thanks, Hallmark, I hope you will do more of this type of movie.

I tuned this in not expecting much and was very pleasantly surprised! Instead of a formulaic, movie of the week, I encountered an unfolding narrative that quickly drew me in and had me caring about the characters, both human and the animals. The cinematography was spectacular for a relatively low budget TV movie, especially the scenes showing the mustangs running. I thought the acting was uniformly very, very good, with special notice going to young Hallee Hirsh, in the lead role of Madison, who I remember from ER and JAG and many other TV episodes as well as both TV movies and feature films (You've Got Mail). She has grown into a very lovely young woman, beautiful actually, and she is a superb actress - real and believable at all times. And she always makes me cry. I hope to see a lot more of her in coming years. I thought Nancy McKeon was also very charming in her role as the town's new veterinarian. There were nice dynamics between her character and Hallee's character and her character and Richard Thomas's character. The young actor who played Hallee's friend was also very endearing as was the veteran actor who played Hank. Good job Hallmark. Give us more movies like this!

7.0 stars.

I liked this film solely for how it portrays a sheriff and his daughter. She is a complex individual full of spunk and personality. He is a likable father and lawman. The writers and director do a wonderful job developing her character. Sheriff does his role some justice and they have a good father-daughter bond. My only criticism is that the acting is inconsistent. It tends to be flat at times, and other times excellent. The dialogue is virtually non-existent, so it detracts a bit from the entertainment value. The director produces a nuanced drama with too many silent moments, instead of much needed conversation and tension.

Beside the relational aspects of this movie there really isn't much to enjoy. She is an animal lover and has a gift and affinity for wolves, mustangs, horses, etc.

The plot is interesting, expands into a semi-thriller near the end as there is a crime to be solved and some shady characters are revealed. There is even a bit of an altercation. It doesn't much lend itself to a romance, but there are a few ok kiss moments. It's a generic film, could've had been much better, or worse, however you choose to view it. You can probably make yourself enjoy 'Wild Hearts' just enough to be satisfied.

i love this film so much as i love animals to and i wood love a copy of this film on DVD and its hard to find there is some good acting in it to wood love to see a part to if they wood make one the baby cubs in it are so sweet i wood love to have one to hold the place that it was filmed in was great i wood love to live there its so peaceful if anyone nos were to get this film on DVD email me i think its a good family film to and i can see a family siting down to eat a takeaway and see it on TV we all like a good story and i think this one wood do it i give it a 10- out of 10 as it gave me a lot of joy watching this story i did not want it to end

This is a great story, like so many of the shows that have been on Hallmark a great family type show. It would be a show that would be a great series. I liked the characters and the actors who played them well , most of them have been favorites of mine for a long time. We need more shows like this, something that the family can sit down together and watch without any bad language or scenes that need to be censored. The scenery was beautiful and the animals were great.. Reminded me of one of the old time Walt Disney movies that I enjoyed as a young girl. Good triumphed over evil that is the way it should always be. The young people did a great job as well as the old pros.
