My Feral Heart

Similar concept to Peanut Butter Falcon which is a 10/10 film. This low budget British version is not as good and more maudlin in tone. But it is moving nonetheless. Excellent performances. Unusual symbolism which probably turned some people off but I think it works. I think the message could have been explored a bit better and been a bit deeper. It doesn't really say a great deal it just keeps reiterating the one main theme, which is, not to prejudge somebody based on their disability as needing to be taken care of when they themselves may be very able of taking care of themselves and even have great abilities at also taking care of others.

It just needed one tiny thing more.: an ending.

In the cases of movies like No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood I would argue that IF YOU CAN'T THINK OF AN ENDING DONT BOTHER MAKING THE MOVIE.

I would not, however argue this in the case of My Feral Heart, because the world is a better place for it.

It is moving but never sentimental and highlights the good that there is in people, when they're not being bad.

I don't know what to say about lead Steven Brandon, 'outstanding' seems inadequate for such a talent. Everyone is excellent in it, and if this movie gets half the attention it deserves all concerned should have long and stellar careers.

I absolutely love this movie! It made me cry frequently. I love the fact that it is a 'normal' life story about a young man with Downs. I wish we saw more actors with disabilities in films. I kind of hoped the ending might mean for a sequel? I wanted to know more!

Can I have back my 75 minutes please.

I waited and waited for something to happen and then it was over.

What is the point of Pixie Le Knots character.

What was the ending supposed to be?

If the score was for intention and sincerity, this would entirely be a 10. This is a super-low-budget British drama that shines a light on characters not often represented on the big screen. The filmmakers have proceeded with absolute integrity of purpose, the film is not at all preachy, it's "just" a story and doesn't try to give answers or deliver a sermon. We are invited to spend time with characters healing after traumas. The plot has a mystery at its core that is left narratively unresolved but there is definitely an emotional climax to the story that leaves you wanting more. Well done to Ms Gull, Mr Paveling and their talented collaborators for showing the world that UK indie film is fighting fit and ready to take on the world!
