Zoo: Uma amizade maior que a vida

I've just seen this and agree with the other reviews that this is a great family movie. No need for flashy cgi just a good story and great acting. They do lay it on thick but this is what this story deserves. Nice comedy moments make this a great hour and a half's viewing. If you have a chance catch this movie you'll not be disappointed.

Well written. Great acting. Anyone who gives this less than 7 star obviously only wants to watch super hero movies. Good historical perspective of WW2 time in Ireland. Whole family enjoyed this. Was it slow at times? Yeah probably. But that was ok. It fit this movie fine. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.

I've just watched this beautiful film. Coming from N. Ireland it is just amazing to watch a film which shows the heart and soul of our wee country. The sights and sounds bring home the emotions felt during the second world war. Loads of places we know and love, showing Belfast was used to film this. The story is just beautiful, quite a roller coaster of emotions, well for a Mum of 3 and animal lover. The story captures what it is like to be a child in a world where everything seems unfair. I was fully emersed in the journey and loved every minute of it. I laughed and cried and just fell in love. A must for the family to watch.

Based upon a true story, as you will find come the final sequences, this is a bit short (in terms of its length), but wonderfully entertaining with little or no foul language and a group of kids who take it upon themselves during wartime Belfast to help a Baby elephant at the Zoo. The adults play their parts very well, the kids provide great entertainment, not to mention the animals and of course "Nellie" who plays the part of the Elephant-who is the centre of the piece. Watch this one, really good

With two young children we are always on the look out for a film to watch as a family. Zoo was the perfect choice. It is easy for young children to relate and connect to the central characters in this movie. It also gives children today an insight into what life was like for those caught living through WWII. There are some very sad moments but it is also genuinely funny and one of the most uplifting films I've seen in a long time.
