Wild Life Reviews
Variety
Guy Lodge
[A] handsome, emotionally stirring documentary...
Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
It's still beautiful to look at, but I most enjoyed Wild Life as a complicated procedural about land use (don't expect to see that blurbed on a poster any time soon).
Washington Post
Thomas Floyd
Wild Life lacks the pulse-pounding suspense of Free Solo and The Rescue, but its depiction of selfless philanthropy is galvanizing all the same.
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
A rickety helicopter tour of a fascinating marriage; nearly every scene makes you want to stop and explore in more detail.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A winsome nature documentary.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Although the various elements don't always come together, the film - like the Tompkins - has its ecological heart in the right place.
indieWire
Esther Zuckerman
A documentary that comes off mostly as a PR stunt.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
This is a different type of high-wire act for the filmmakers, but one that is no less harrowing.
In Review Online
Luke Gorham
There's no denying that Wild Life is a flawed film, and less formally ambitious than most of what Chin and Vasarhelyi have before attempted... But despite these considerable question marks, Chin and Vasarhelyi remain deeply empathetic filmmakers.

Nick Allen
A warming, epic story that exemplifies how it's not too late to make big changes.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Another breathtaking journey from Chin and Vasarhelyi, one that fits snugly in their canon about indomitable rule breakers who achieved greatness and broke their barriers by persistence and unwavering dedication.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Wild Life is very well-made, but I'd have preferred it made perhaps by more disinterested parties than these directors, who seem to move in largely the same deep-pocketed, globe-trotting, brand-affiliated circles as the couple who are their subjects here.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
Wild Life is committed in equal measure to the formidable challenges of land preservation and self-preservation.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
It's a biographical portrait of the Tompkins, yes, but its focus is geared more toward their conservation and rewilding efforts and, more poignantly, toward Kristine.

Christy Lemire
It's so well made, and puts you in the middle of some really breathtaking scenery.

Lael Loewenstein
It's beautifully told. A little shapeless, but still affecting.

Robin Clifford
One fascinating aspect of "Wild Life" is the sense of entitlement the Tompkins and Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, have for themselves and their lofty plans to save the earth through capitalism.
Feelin' Film Podcast
Aaron White
An inspiring true story about conservationism that proves not all billionaires suck. A bit too sanitized, likely due to the filmmakers relationship with their subject, but informative nonetheless. Outdoor photography is unsurprisingly excellent.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
Watching the movie may prompt some adventurous eco-tourists to visit Chile and Argentina, to see if it's as beautiful and wild as it looks on the screen.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
This is not only an incredible story of environmental activism, but one of scrappy, rugged individuals not only scaling physical heights but succeeding against all odds in the business world. And it's a love story.
