Absolutely a delight of a movie. Fits somewhere in the middle of all of Cameron Crowe’s movies. While not an original idea of his it is still far more warm than Vanilla Sky. Cheesy in that wonderful way that only he does.
Mine (2009)
MINE is a documentary about the essential bond between humans and animals, set against the backdrop of one of the worst disasters in modern U.S. history. This gripping, character-driven story follows New Orleans residents as they attempt the daunting task of trying to reunite with their pets who have been adopted by families all over the country, and chronicles the custody battles that arise when two families love the same pet. Who determines the fate of the animals —and the people— involved? A compelling meditation on race, class and the power of compassion, MINE examines how we treat animals as an extension of how we view and treat each other.
