"People come in here when something good is going on in their lives, they want to capture that happy moment and make it permanent." The ending of this movie just is beautiful. This movie hits a little to close to home for me it just makes you feel uncomfortable but the movie is just real and the performances are all phenomenal epically Ed Oxenbould.

That hit the emotions, a deep one and definitely felt sorry for the character joe played by (Ed oxenbould) that did a good job, hope to see him in more. There’s been similar situations in my childhood so did hit me a little. A good film and great plot with a good cast that all played well together.

The performances in this fiery drama are strong across the board, but its young Oxenbould who makes the biggest impression, continuing his rise in Hollywood with a terrific turn here. An excellent film, slow burning and intensely powerful.

Ever since i heard about this movie, I was looking forward to watching it and I'm really glad it lived up to my expectations. A slow and sad story beautifully told from the perspective of the boy. we feel the same emotions as boy feels. some scenes are somehow uncomfortable to watch and I think that shows exactly how well the story telling is done. I also loved the cinematography. Filled with beautiful shots and camerawork. Overall great debut for Paul Dano.

_Wildlife_ is a methanol fire: it burns slower and you can't see the flames but it does the same sort of damage as a regular blaze.

Because _Wildlife_ burns like a fuse that's building slowly to a soft explosion, all of the elements must be primed to prevent the spark from going out. The More

**Warning: Gyllenhaal is not the lead here**

We see a boring family break apart from the perspective of the young boy. End of story. Safe to say there is no story, but there could easily have been one. Clearly the father is the most interesting character in "Wildlife". Being fired from a job that More

Ed Axenbould holds this together quite well as the teenage "Joe". His day to day life is thrown into turmoil when his father "Jerry" (Jake Gyllenhaal) gets laid off. Struggling to make ends meet with his wife "Jeanette" (Carey Mulligan) he decides to take a job some way away, a decision that leaves More

**_Old-fashioned filmmaking with a progressive theme_**
