      john s Living off the grid sure sounds romantic, but unfortunately in real life, living off the land, romance is not top priority. "Wild Life" traces a drastic family separation when the mother decides to escape a communal hippie culture she no longer believes in. Kids are involved, and it gets messy. Based on true events, this film tracks a decade long, on the lam odyssey that features a dedicated but devoted to his cause father, and his sons. Their's is an idyllic, simple life, which grows ever so complicated as the boys grow into men, and their mother elevates her familial search. As Paco, Matthieu Kassovitz delivers the right mix of fatherly love, staunch stubbornness, with just a hint of madness. There is little right in any of the events, especially the French justice system which seems geared toward creating animosity, instead of proper mediation. When confronted by the authorities, Paco retorts to charges of cult behaviour with, "If it's a husband and wife and kids, then it's not a cult. It's a family." The film avoids taking sides, and leaves with a handful of thought-provoking questions. Be prepared for heated, post viewing discussions. - hipCRANK Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Katie Smith-Wong Flick Feast Thought-provoking, engaging with a strong performance by Kassovitz, Wild Life provides a very different insight to the troubles of a single parent. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Mike Usinger Georgia Straight If your family made a complete mess of you, it's nice to know that you're anything but alone. Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Kent Turner Film-Forward.com Double-threat actor/director Mathieu Kassowitz's performance as the tyrannical Paco is nothing short of terrifying.
