Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Regardless of whether the practice of living with wolves is to be applauded or canned, the footage, the behaviours and the insight gained into pack behaviour and the intricacies of the wolf pack is amazing viewing.The film makers, by being able to be so close to the wolves, have offered an insight hitherto unseen. Other documentaries around wolves have limited vision of the animals, shot from a distance. This is as up close and personal as it gets. You can't help but to feel for some of the animals as they assume their roles in the pack, but by the same token, you are drawn to other animals by their personality, and the way they behave.Just a fascinating insight into a misunderstood species, and highly recommended.

This documentary about studying wolves is hardly a documentary. It's more like a biography, but still a documentary.A man and woman want to learn more about the lives of wolves. Fortunately, they become part of the wolf family in the American West, braving some of the harshest Winters imaginable.But they have to brave these Winters. They are now part of the wolf family. Although not pets, there is the love and tenderness one feels when a mother brings her puppies or kittens into your lap. A similar case here.The story is told in a fluid style, more entertaining than most action movies you will see made today.This is both informative and touching. It is the best of both worlds.

I found the film enthralling. For an animal so vilified in books and films it was absolutely amazing to see the interaction between the Dutchers and the wolves.The reaction of the Omega female turned Alpha female when the cubs were born allowing Jamie Dutcher to inspect them in the den was truly awesome, especially as she disallowed other members of the pack near them.To see wild animals gather round two humans and lick their faces, had anyone tuned in at that precise moment, they would have thought the wolves were house pets instead animals free to roam at will in the wild.A masterpiece of film-making, made even more remarkable by the conditions under which the film was made. Awesome.

absolutely fantastic depth and detail into the mostly unknown life of wolves. these two people have got so much devotion and courage to live in a tent amongst their own pack of wolves in the Idaho wilderness for six years. the couple do a tremendously good job of gaining the wolves trust and carefully adding more hand reared puppies to the pack in order to build a strong and stable pack. Jim and Jamie Dutcher's observations about the wolves provide you with facts that could only be found out by living with them. you must see this if you like animals. the end would bring a tear to a glass eye.There is also a detailed book of their adventures with the wolves which would be recommended to anyone who liked the programme or wants to find out more
