Wildcat

It becomes really loving, although it doesn't have a lot of "oomph." It's just sweet scenes, one after another.

Wildcat remains a tense, diverting study of a man struggling with internal demons while doing his best for an initially helpless creature.

[The filmmakers'] choices make this would-be redemption narrative feel unfortunately and uncomfortably exploitative.

It tunnels deep and becomes a statement about the beauty and cruelty of the world.

Wildcat is not a fairy tale... But it does reconcile its realities with the elusive nature of happiness, which for both men and cats can mean what’s within their grasp.

Beneath the emotional power, however, it’s hard not to shake the sense that there’s a performative element to the documentary’s DNA.

"Wildcat" is beautiful ... everything a documentary should be, with a big heart for animals and people alike.

Wildcat, despite all its good intentions of stringing together the ‘beautiful’ parts of life on this Earth as a way to heal from its terrors, remains disappointing in keeping those terrors vague and distant.

Filmmakers Trevor Frost and Melissa Lesh have captured both a compelling human story and a wildlife story. The jungle is a scary place, with many dangers, but even darker dangers lie deep within the human soul, and both are explored in this film.

Challenging, thought-provoking, and suspenseful, "Wildcat" is a lot of movie. Hearts will be broken.
