Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Tom Murray This is one of the most beautiful films that I have ever seen. There are only a few words spoken and they are spoken by a young girl to the monkey who is the central character of this tale. The Capucin monkey was a family pet and became free in the Amazon rain forest when the airplane he was travelling on crashed. At first he is dismayed but he quickly learns to fit in with his new environment and animal friends.The nature photography is superb, with gorgeous views of the scenery, the sky, the weather and the animal activity. Scene after scene offer a great variety of interesting animal behaviour. Some scenes are very touching and others are very exciting. Since the hero of the tale wears a bright red collar, he can be easily identified in a group of monkeys. The music is beautiful and suitable to the activity. I predict that I will see this film repeatedly. My wife loved it too.

eyeintrees Delightful and beautiful. Although sanitised, it is a visually stunning and very sweet look at life in the jungle for one bred-in-captivity little monkey who by fate is suddenly free to be what he was always meant to be.Tragically, man's greed and gross stupidity is destroying vast areas of the Amazon and this is very good at keeping the viewer in the jungle's glory with subtle overtones of humanity and a stark moment or two of reality.I would definitely take my kids to see this. Mostly so that they would understand what a treasure our glorious planet is.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Amazonia" tells us the story of a little Capuchin. It's not really a documentary, but more a fictitious story with an animal as the main "actor". And more animals as actors that are obviously not realizing that they are acting. I'd imagine that it wasn't easy at all to get the animals to "act" the way the movie makers wanted them to. The result is fairly entertaining. One of the scenes that stays memorable is where the little monkey pokes his tongue out at a snake who tried to catch him. This scene is also used int he trailer and especially the younger audiences totally loved it.There's also some drama included like when he leaves his group with the female monkey as the leader won't accept him as part of them and it's nice to see the little monkey meet many other animals: crocodiles, big cats, tapirs, sloths and how he interacts with them. Children will enjoy it, but you should really only watch it for the story. The few moments when the film tries to get documentary-style or scientific, it does not succeed, sometimes even gives contradictory statements about which the largest animals in the area are (tapirs? cats of prey?). This is a bit disappointing as director Thierry Ragobert is fairly experienced with the subject as he has worked on several nature documentaries already, but also on other subjects like religion for example. The beginning with the plane crash and the pilot simply leaving the plane and never being heard of again felt a bid odd to me. However, they had to find a frame for the little monkey being exposed to wilderness and they found one about which younger audiences won't complain.Congrats to Venice Film Festival for giving this fairly obscure movie a prize and making it a bit more seen this way maybe. It reminded me a bit of a live action version of the animated film "Rio", even if in its center we don't have birds. Let me finish this review by saying that I quite liked the ending where humans are described as the major enemy to this wonderful jungle wildlife world. Crucial statement and I really liked that they included it at such a significant position (i.e. the end), so it stays well in the minds of people.

Owen Whittaker When was the last time you stumbled upon a thing, so beautiful that it enchanted you at every spell. The movie also shows some of the rarest and most endangered animals, this is a real jungle boy. And if you do not watch this in hd your a fool. I am at a loss to understand, even by 'today's' standards that they could make such a film. Such amazing angles and locations and naturalness. With a beauty that often surpasses words. For example, take time to notice the expressions. The animals faces are stunning and animals are the best actors because they do not act. It will probably be one of the best animal films of all time. You must not go past this one.
