I don't see any discrepancy between God and nature as do some of the reviewers. This is a film that invites the viewer to explore and appreciate the natural world in all it wildness. I love to go into nature and live on the ocean surrounded by beautiful green mountains. I go into nature and feel at one with it as I open to being at one with the Creator of all worlds. Natural Love and Divine Love go hand in hand for me and I respect those who disagree. A wonderful film in its essence with a message that at its core is love.
I don't use to like dramas, but this film is so wonderful! Great acting, it captures you and gives you a kind of magical feeling. You can do whatever you want!! It has a great message and is beautiful!
Such a shame the criticism of this film. I found it a lovely story, and it wasn't fiction, but based on a real woman who dared greatly to be different.
I, for one, found it beautifully inspiring. Yes, the odd "fairy" stuff that popped in briefly a couple times was a little hokey, if you even notice it, but I found it a symbolic representation of her profound positivity & spirit which drove her forward.
I didn't find her mopey or begging: each challenge she faced with surprising optimism & brave problem-solving to do what she did.
Her designs are modest & inspired. Truly different
7.6 stars.
This film feels like you are present in the wild hills of Ireland and the arid deserts of Ethiopia. We are presented with a very intricate tapestry of nature and how the various peoples of the world are closely linked together with it and with each other through the gentle power and magic of nature.
Somehow this film brings to life the wildness of it all, almost to another plane of existence. It's a cluster of emotions obviously evoked by the cinematography and music. The acting is intriguing. The female lead is a wonderful down-to-earth old soul who can envision a world full of life once again, with trees, plants and flowers abounding. The male lead, however, was suspicious. That's the closest word I can think of.
I enjoy this movie for her artistic endeavors and indomitable spirit. The actress and the production are brilliant. Some of the other characters are interesting. The male lead is odd, but obviously gorgeous as far as I can tell, being that I'm a man.

'Dare to Be Wild' was so clumsy in its sentimentality and over-the-top ridiculous in how it portrayed the uptight gardeners and clients that the message of supporting wild areas was almost entirely lost.
