Emily O One of my favorite documentaries ever. I know it's docudrama but the music, the storyline, the absolutely beautiful scenery. Fixed have always been one of my favorites, in part because of this film. Definitely some heart wrenching moments, not for very young children. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Audience Member An achingly beautiful nature film that deserves far more recognition. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
