      Neil Genzlinger New York Times "Bonobos: Back to the Wild" is an uncomfortable mix of fictionalized account and nature film, but you have to admire the work it documents. Sep 17, 2015 Full Review John DeFore Hollywood Reporter Beni's story -- a scripted narrative inspired by real events -- proves quite engaging. Aug 10, 2015 Full Review Serena Donadoni Village Voice The film evolves into an interesting primer on the differences between life in captivity and the wild.

      Audience Member un documentaire sur les bonobos qui se veut realiste alors qu on les voit pas baiser c est pas credible lol la narration est pas prenante du tout Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member m'attendais à un doc plus à (C)thologique. Le film est construit autour de beni, un bà (C)bà (C) bonobo recueilli dans un centre puis rà (C)introduit en forêt. y'a des moments très drôles et c'est assez à (C)mouvant voire troublant d'observer leurs expressions et à (C)motions. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
