Rick Bentley Tribune News Service [Mia and the White Lion] not only deeply embraces the nature elements, but it also manages to be a moving story about family, trust, love and conservation. Rated: 3/4 Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Courtney Howard Variety Despite a heartfelt sentiment, and the filmmakers' desire to raise awareness about an abhorrent practice, packaging it in a family-friendly narrative proves to be problematic. Apr 12, 2019 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Cuddly vibes quickly give way to something more questionable here, and while many kids will find the fantasy appealing, any parent buying a ticket should be legally required to show his child Grizzly Man immediately after... Apr 11, 2019 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz Director Gilles de Maistre has produced an unmistakable labour of love. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 30, 2019 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín The performances do not turn towards melodrama.

Audience Member Just Because You Have Good Intentions, Doesn't Mean You're Saying The Right Things At The Right Times. That About Sums Up This Attempt At Feeling Good By Pointing At The Dumb Human Behavioral Choices Going You Suck!! People Don't Learn Anything This Way. You Must Understand The Pysche Driving Behavioral Choices. There Isn't Much Understanding Here Just Finger Pointing At A Very Basic Level. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was ok overall as we watch the journey of a baby Lion cub to adulthood along with its owner Mia who knows him best and interacts with him like a regular pet being oblivious to the dangers. Overall it was kinda monotone with not much suspense in the story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member On one level its a very touching film with a great message; on the other hand reading reviews in The Hollywood Reporter, I echo the extent the filmmakers have gone to use real wildlife and potentially put people in harms way for the purposes of the film #Conflicted Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Es una historia muy bonita, que además transmite un buen mensaje sobre el respeto a los animales. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie, lots of suspense. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Mia and the white lion is a very good film , because the case is really good with: Melanie Laurent, Langley Kirkwood and other good actors. The story of the movie is really intersting and emotional. Mia is a girl with only 14 years old, that would do anything for Charlie, a white lion . It is a really great film and I think that is a wonderfull film to watch with your family Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
