Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
izabellakf I couldn't watch the full documentary. It makes me sick to know this is a legal business! How can you stand there with a smile on your face while the mother is begging for her baby. Selfish and ignorant! And shame on the people who run this disgusting business! Just like the puppy mills! Those poor monkeys living out their lives in cages in someone's backyard shed, and then to have their babies taken from them! This should be a documentary on the horrors of this industry, and not giving air time to people who can't see past their selfish needs! Absolutely heartbreaking. Wish this would have focused on the negative implications this business has on the animals.
