      Oscar M One of the most hypocritical movies ever seen Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/25/22 Full Review 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 antonis k Touching adventure about the importance of animal life definitely a big recommendation!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 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.

      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 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 Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times There are several uniquely impressive elements to the adventure drama "Mia and the White Lion," but they're undermined by a choppy, at times contrived and implausible script by Prune de Maistre and William Davies. 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. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 13, 2019 Full Review Javier Porta Fouz La Nación (Argentina) The film reminds us of some of the great dimensions of cinema.
