New Review For Movie The Last Lions
Gripping.
Dennis Harvey-Variety A gorgeous looking film filled with the sort of footage one can only get with patience and persistence.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel Many of the sequences are intense, like those in which the lioness refines its hunting strategies in unfamiliar territory. But they're undercut by Jeremy Irons's sonorous narration.
Andrea Gronvall-Chicago Reader Wrenching and wondrous, Dereck and Beverly Joubert's documentary The Last Lions is not a tale for the faint-hearted.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post No matter how you feel about real-life drama being shaped and enhanced in the editing room, this is wildlife storytelling at its formidable finest.
Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times It's all very melodramatic, but the Jouberts accompany this story with incredible visuals, with an exceptional level of access.
Peter Hartlaub-San Francisco Chronicle an extraordinary achievement
Jay Antani-Cinema Writer There's some heartbreaking stuff here but also moments of triumph. Not to mention visuals that will leave audiences breathless.
Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star It's uplifting, but also raw and brutal.
Justin Strout-Orlando Weekly Especially if older kids are already fascinated with wild animals, they'll be mesmerized, and will probably successfully badger you to donate to the cause via text message on the way out of the theater.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Visually stunning nature docu has some upsetting scenes.
Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media This nature documentary about the vanishing lions of Africa is not your children's Lion King.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle This is National Geographic writ raw for effect, and "The Last Lions" suffers for it.
Jackie Loohauis-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel While "The Last Lions" lacks the visceral excitement of some other survival dramas, it has anthropomorphic heart to spare.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch If something can be done to save these last lions, this sort of honest appraisal is exactly the first step we need.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press Quite possibly the most emotionally wrenching, stunningly beautiful film I've yet to encounter - fiction or otherwise.
Alison Gang-San Diego Union-Tribune The Last Lions turns Duba Island into a theater of survival, love, and adaptation.
Zak Jason-Boston Phoenix So much is contained in the film, from real technical virtuosity to heart-wrenching moments of pathos, that it's a shame it seems satisfied to be so ordinary in other aspects.

Movie Overview For The Last Lions
In Botswana's Okavango Delta, an ostracized lioness and her two cubs must fight alone to survive - overcoming all manner of hazard, from the raging wildfires on the Delta, to the jealousy of sister lionesses, to the marauding males who kill her mate, to the prey that becomes predator. Their only defense is to escape to Duba Island -- and with that, an unknown future. The setting for this epic tale is one of the last regions where lions can live in the wild. Faced with dwindling land and increasing pressure from hunting, lions - like our lone lioness and her cubs - are approaching the brink of extinction.
