Isabella Tree and her husband, Charlie Burrell, strive to breathe new life into the ailing Knepp estate. They reintroduce native ponies, deer, pigs and other wildlife, allowing nature to thrive.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

The Knepp Castle project is, to reiterate, a pioneering development that suggests a sustainable future is possible for chemically denuded land. The documentary around it, alas, boasts little more ambition than a corporate video.

Rated: 2/5

You’ll never look at a green and pleasant pasture in the same way again after watching this documentary about the rewilding project at the Knepp estate in West Sussex.

Hilary A White

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

A dreamy, luxuriant finish to some interludes threatens to over-ice the cake, but the story underscoring it all is just too good.

Rated: 4/5

HeyUGuys

Though perhaps better suited as a series, with room to allow a gentler pace and wallow in the beauty of the recovering land, Wilding is nevertheless a delightful documentary that transfixes as well as tests patience.

Rated: 3/5

The Arts Desk

Directed by David Allen, Wilding tells the remarkable story of Knepp’s transformation from a barren tract of marginal land to a fertile oasis. Not surprisingly, the film is visually stunning.

Rated: 4/5
