Salvajes

A very cute and adventurous animated film that enlighten us with joy and care.

It has a correct tone towards indigenous people, animals and deforestation.

Sad, cute, cool, ethical, funny, adventurous, environmentalist, thought-provoking, essential, beautiful, well-made, professional & inspiring.

Very good direction. Very good screenplay. Very good production. Very good acting. Very good edits. Good film score. Great audio mixing/editing. Very good cinematography. Sad/funny/thought-provoking tone. Moderate-paced. Well-balanced.

I really liked it.

Family-friendly; some mildly inappropriate moments for kids.

7.7/10.

I went to Sauvages into a kids cinema afternoon with my daughter of six and about twenty other kids. Sauvages is not a good movie. The story develops too slow and is too wrapped around the old-fashioned 'nature over industry' story.

It tries to send a moral that little kids don't see, let alone embrace. The movie was at times scary for six year olds. And it is not an great adult story either. The moral, no matter how good the intentions, holds no new perspective that make you think about what you just saw.

So in the end, my kid was bored and at times frightened. By the time the film ended, half of the other kids had already left the theatre.
