Druid Peak

This is a must see film. A fantastic coming of age story set in Yellowstone National Park. The reintroduced wolf packs are a back story in the film, so if you love wolves you have to see it! Druid Peak was filmed in Wyoming and Utah. The cinematography is amazing. The director was able to use amazing natural light to back light many scenes. I kept thinking the crew must have had to be up early to shoot some of the scenes where the light is coming through the forest.

Andrew Wilson underplayed his character so well, it made me rethink all the talking we do as parents. The director's pacing of the scenes was amazing I loved when the camera lingered on a shot for a long time in order to increase the tenderness of the scene. Something that has gone by the wayside in modern movie making.

If you love wolves, love the outdoors, and love independent films this is a must see movie! I highly recommend Druid Peak.

A fantastic film, charming uplifting, thought-provoking visually striking and incredibly well acted. Great to see the kid from Unbreakable doing excellent work.

I cried during this more than I've cried during a movie in a long time. And I cry a lot during movies. Honestly, even watching the trailer again just now I cried. This film is about a kid who's having a rough time and goes to live with his estranged father who monitors wolf packs in Wyoming, and then finds himself while learning about and tracking these wolves. Not only is this film totally beautiful to watch because of the landscape and wildlife, but it's also an intensely heartfelt and touching story. I think there's just something about seeing someone who is hurting so much and having such a hard time with life find something that fills their heart and brings them a sense of purpose. Spencer, the lead actor, was AMAZING and gave an absolutely masterful performance in this film. Watch out for him. I can't believe he's not being cast in every movie right now. If this doesn't get a theatrical release, I'm going to lose all faith in the film industry.

Gorgeous cinematography and wildlife settings in wholesome coming of age story. Lovely settings and camera work. Seemingly balanced father figure showing patience in a casually paced setting and just delightful use of actual wildlife and maybe animal actors to help a troubled teen take a step toward maturing into a young man.

Scenic vistas greatly enhanced this movie but it could have been paced and edited better. Writing set up a Main character who was hard to like throughout the whole film. He was a spoiled jerk at the start and although his emotional arc followed a positive, believable path, it was only a few months of change after all.

The movie deals with many topics that could be studied and The pace leaves plenty of room for dialog.
