Audience Member So I basically sobbed my way through this movie because it was so wonderfully bright but heartbreaking at the same time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I was lucky enough to win tickets to see this or otherwise I might not have heard about it. The co-director Michael Parfit was there to answer questions after the showing which really added to the experience. I was reminded of Farley Mowat's book A Whale for the Killing but I'm glad to say that in the time since Farley tried to save a right whale in Newfoundland humanity seems, for the most part, to have become more humane in its treatment of wild animals. I also loved the cinematography which is of a very beautiful spot on Vancouver Island. You could go just for that. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie. Really makes you think about our relationship with nature. It really shows how out of touch many city folks are (especially govenment beaurocrats). Very sad story, but uplifting too. Couldn't get a better leading actor than Luna. I guess if the same government types that made so many bad decisions about Luna are the same ones making decisions about the salmon fishery, then its easy to see why its going extinct. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Highly recommended for the thinker/introspective type of people. Straightly as a film, it's 4-star. But the story it portrays , it's a 6-star! The story is so powerful and thought-provoking, both about the relationship between humans and wildlife, and humans and humans. I left the theater and spent a good extra hour just to reflect and to collect my thoughts. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The death of this whale was due to the cruelty and greed of mankind! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member i can't judge whether or not this was a good movie, because i'm completely biased towards films that feature cute animals, and luna is fucking adorable. this movie has plenty of lighthearted moments, in addition to a few heartwrenching moments.
