Victoria e Mistério

I see lots of bad reviews, but I think maybe people don't understand.

First, this is inspired by a true story and meant to be a family film.

Second, I watched it in French, and I can see how a dubbed version could fall flat.

I felt the writing and acting were perfectly fine.

I also appreciated how it explored the many facets of societal issues.

But the best part, for me, was the visual aspect. It was simply magnificent!

This film made me smile and cry, beautiful in its unpretentious simplicity with authentic feel about the actors, especially the llittle girl- This is not a Disney story nor a scientific documentary about wolves but a real story about a little girl , Victoria , who gew up together with a wolf pup (the reay Victoria was even only 3!) and formed a strong, wonderful, inseparable bond. Recently oprhaned Victoria grows from bereaved, lost and helpless feelign girl to a mature person who nurtures and loves another culnerablle creature- which gives her back her speech and in the end ,makes the hardest decision for herself, putting the welfare and survival of the friend she loves above her own needs, small and young as she is. It alos highlights the real life problems between wolf and man and any rewilding projects in an objective way. As I said beffore : This is not a Disney production but a soft spoken, realistic but also very emotional telling of a true story- Either you love that or you leave it and look for artifice . I promise you smiles and tears i you do give it a chance.

Simple story with great views and the wolves are beautiful and amazing!! Did not find anything wrong with the story as I'm a believer that animals and humans can have really strong bonds! Enjoy it!

But still a light feel good movie. Maybe not a deep plot where you learn much but still an enjoyable view. Great shots of the French countryside and beautiful wolves.

There's a Youtube channel called The Dodo that has lots of 3 minute feel good videos about human animal interaction, and animal animal interaction. This is like a 90 minute version of one of those!
