Mar 26, 2020 So underrated. This movie was driven, fresh, and reflective. We often believe our thoughts and beliefs are the absolute truth. It was amazing to watch Sara search for more and understand that life is not always so clear-cut. I find that to be one of the most important life lessons. I have a difficult time finding movies that resonate with me; they're often too shallow and surface level. I was pleasantly surprised to see a production take the unpopular route. It isn't something I could watch another three times, but I'm grateful I saw it. See more Jun 11, 2019 Really horrible movie that seems like it was paid for by the dog breeding industry. Freaking AWFUL! See more Apr 2, 2019 I don't even understand how anyone can say the movie is manipulative . the entire point is true and why its worth the watch. Its about greediness and hypocrisy and is a great example of why not every positive organization is truly for the greater good. Worth the watch, worth getting that message out there.

And is just the gravy on top of a strong, true but politically incorrect message that is rare in produced movies, usually necessarily privately funded film. Actors that star is such films have to risk ostracism in the industry, so it is further laudable that the producers managed to get some recognizably named starts for the film, e.g., James Remar has a respectable filmography under belt. It tells the story of a extremist animal activism from the side of those unjustifiably targeted by such runaway activism, where such activists have ascended from mere cranks, picketers and low level vandalism at the street level activistism, to high end corporate entities that have lobbied for and enacted ridiculously impossible and inconsistent laws designed to shut down otherwise conscientious and attentive animal breeders. Although the publicly stated goals of animal protection is the figurehead of their activities, their goals are far more undermining to traditional animal husbandry of all kinds. It shows the inevitable money driven aspect of these now conisdered respectable organizations that have captured that area of law enforcement conjoined with their residual moral crusading that still undercurrents their social, legal and political machinations. Fortunately, at least in this movie, mostly due to much Deus ex machina last minute investigations and revelations, the film has a satisfying ending. You can see the politically charged nature of this film by the ratings of the professional reviewers vs the audience score in Rotten Tomatos, the latter of which is twice the approval rate of those professionals whose livelihoods depend on towing the politically correct and industry approved opinion.

The topic is very anti-SJW, and shows what happens when ideologically driven animal rights extremists install themselves into positions of police power, and officially attack normal people who take care of their animals responsibly. A great expose' that must have taken a lot of manuevering to get turned into a movie with some prominent actors who also risked the wrath of the uber politically correct. See more Read all reviews
