Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story

This lovingly shot documentary about a man who helps a young otter washed up on his boat ramp on Shetland Island is the most tranquil and beautiful movie experience I've ever had. Narrated by the couple who aided the otter, this film not only tells the story of two people and an adorable otter, it also showcases the stunning scenery of the Shetlands with superb cinematography. The score also deserves a mention.

Watching this movie was a beautiful experience. I could feel peace and calm descend over me as I watched the narrative of Billy and Molly unfold. In these turbulent times this is the balm, the respite I needed.

What a wonderful story this was, I'm so glad I ran across this. Absolutely something that you can watch with your kids.

This heartwarming story will take you on a journey of a lost otter, who finds a new friend. This was so wonderfully done, part documentary, and part story. No surprises, no ugliness, just pure joy.

If this is what National Geographic looks like on Disney, I love it. I'm hoping that there's more stories like this that can come to light.

Through the process, you also learn a bit about otters and realize that we should be soaking in the beauty of nature around us. Probably something that we forget, quite often given our hectic daily lives.

Absolutely brilliant film, it had everything, warmth, tears, laughter and heart loving joy.

From National Geographic and Silverback Films, Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story is a heart-warming story of love between a wild otter and a man set in the remote Scottish islands of Shetland.

The documentary follows Billy, a salt-of-the-earth philosopher and Molly, a half-drowned, starving young female otter that Billy stumbles on one rainy evening in the Scottish subarctic. From there, an unlikely relationship begins that eventually saves them both.

The storyline with the wild & rough Shetland landscape and breathtaking wildlife cinematography, 'Billy & Molly' is one of the best wildlife films of 2024.

Amazing 10/10!

I do love most animals. Looking at them anyway. I would care for one under the right circumstances.

Billy is the human. Molly is the otter.

Billy cares for a young otter he names Molly. She grows dependent on him, and becomes friendly with him. She becomes independent and self sufficient over time.

National Geographic is known for picturesque photography of wildlife and nature. Occasionally they produce wildlife films. I have seen a few. This ranks up there in their top 5 or 10.

It may get a 10 from me if I feel compelled to watch again. I just finished watching it before writing this. It is very good. Great pacing, beautifully shot, almost each scene is a beautiful photo.

Narrated well. The pacing is slow, but as soon as we see close ups of the otter, your joy and excitement will pick up.

Billy, his wife, and the poor dog, who is starving for attention, are the supporting characters. You feel for Billy, but the main star is Mollie the otter.

Again a surprise magical movie that is a documentary stylized as a story. Which it is. Enjoy. This is for all ages.

Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story is a beautifully crafted film that captures the essence of love, loss, and the enduring bond between two creatures.

The cinematography is breathtaking, with slow-motion shots that showcase the serene beauty of their natural surroundings. The film's visuals are a feast for the eyes.

The story is both heartwarming and poignant, exploring themes of love, loss, and the importance of letting go. It serves as a reminder that all animals are beings deserving of our respect and compassion. We need to treat all creatures with kindness and understanding, regardless of their species.

Overall, Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story is a beautifully shot and emotionally resonant film that will leave a lasting impression. It's a must-watch for animal lovers and those seeking a heartwarming tale of love and loss.
