Sensitive 16-year-old Joe is the only child of Jeanette and Jerry - a housewife and golf pro in a small town in 1960s Montana. Nearby, an uncontrolled forest fire rages close to the Canadian border, and when Jerry loses his job-and his sense of purpose he decides to join the cause of fighting the fire, leaving his wife and son to fend for themselves. Suddenly forced into the role of an adult, Joe witnesses his mother embark on her own adventure, as she transgresses into an affair with an older man. (IFC Films)

Ein Zerfall einer Ehe und dadurch auch einer Familie, welcher aus der Sicht eines 14-jährigen Sohns wahrgenommen wird, der beide Eltern gleich liebt und sich in der Familie sicher fühlte. Ein Film über ein Erwachsenwerden, das schneller ist, als sich ein junger Mensch wünscht. Paul Dano beobachtet die ziemlich konventionellen Schicksalswenden langsam, aber so sensibel, als ob es autobiografisch wäre. Carey Mulligan ist ausgezeichnet. [Cannes]

Der ehrgeizige Schöpfer Paul Dano präsentiert sein Regiedebüt und es muss gesagt werden, dass es sich um ein qualitativ hochwertiges, bescheidenes Drama handelt. Die Geschichte dreht sich um einen jungen Jungen, der trotz der stürmischen Trennung seiner Eltern sein Gesicht wahren kann. Paul Dano scheint darin einen Teil von sich selbst widergespiegelt zu haben. Einige Szenen werden bis zu absurd unangenehmen Grenzen in Bezug auf das Verhältnis der Charaktere getrieben, was wirklich belastende Gefühle vertieft. All dies wird von den sehr guten schauspielerischen Leistungen von Jake Gyllenhaal und Carey Mulligan erhöht.

Paul Dano stepped on a path to be a director and as his debut he presented a small, intimate movie that emanates family tragedy and personal confession. It wasn’t bad but I was more interested in the Montana visuals which looked epic in some shots including the moments when the son watches the forest burn. That was also the most powerful scene in the whole movie. I pitied the nature more that the relationship between Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal itself. Sadly the movie was about a family falling apart and not about the nature. Nevertheless Carey and Jake weren’t bad therefore the movie deserves the 3 stars rating. An interesting independent American movie that however doesn’t stand out from other movies of this kind.

Paul Dano has already proven himself as a brilliant actor, and now he's stepped into directing and screenwriting with great success. I'm thrilled because I see him as one of the most talented young actors — and now creators — of our time. Wildlife is an excellent debut and a fantastic start to his directing career. Dano skillfully portrays a marital crisis intertwined with a midlife crisis, and the struggles of a teenager caught in the middle. The relationships are tested in various ways, but one thing remains constant — despite all their flaws and mistakes, Joe loves his parents deeply and finds it in his heart to forgive them. The final scene says it all.
