Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story

I love otters. LOVE them. So when my friend told me about this movie, I cleared my schedule and watched it that same night. It is such a heartwarming story - so beautifully shot, and beautifully told. I cry at anything involving animals and this was no exception - I cried for basically the whole last hour. Mostly happy tears, but still, just be warned that you might need tissues. The cinematography alone deserves an award, the landscapes are incredible and the scenes captured are truly breathtaking. I've never been to that part of Scotland but I immediately want to plan a trip there. If I happen to meet and fall in love with an otter, then so be it!

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.

I have been an animal lover all my life, so when I saw the title I was immediately drawn to it. However, I was not expecting to be hit as hard as I was through this documentary.

I have had many interactions with animals in my life, as someone who has worked as a rescuer for cats and dogs. So I could understand right away what Billy felt, even though he did not have the right training or knowledge, I KNEW what he felt right away. I could relate to the love, the dread that comes with loving an animal. Caring for it. Your life starts revolving around it. The documentary showcases the relationship between them masterfully.

The cross between how you take care of a wild animal, and how much help you should really give them is a very complex question. This becomes a very important topic in the documentary as it goes on and in my opinion is a natural evolution any animal lover should have towards a semi-wild animal like this.

Give it a watch, it is adorable, emotional and lovely.

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!

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.
