Sutherland adopts the tone of a kindly grandpa reindeer, or perhaps God himself, looking down from a drone's eye view. For younger kids, it might well work. For anyone over age 12, it will probably sound a little patronising.

Rated: 3/5

Guillaume Maidatchevsky's film is very much in the old Disney "True-Life Adventures" mode of manipulating nature footage and adding cutesy voiceover to anthropomorphize wild animals.

Throw in a Game of Thrones-esque soundtrack, a menacing Wolverine and some chilling climate change exemplars and the result is a surprisingly captivating watch.

Todor V. D

Reindeer's Journey is a visually stunning masterpiece that transports viewers to breathtaking northern landscapes, where beautiful compositions capture the ethereal quality of the wild, including stunning shots of the northern lights that illuminate the night sky. The film unfolds like a modern fairytale, weaving a narrative rich with adventure and resilience, while the breathtaking portraits of wild animals serve as both spectacle and poignant reminders of the delicate balance between man and nature. However, some jumps in the editing detract from the overall flow, pulling the viewer out of the immersive experience. Despite this, the cinematic journey invites audiences to dive into the serene yet untamed essence of the North, making it a must-see for anyone who appreciates the art of filmmaking and the wonders of the natural world.
