Though specific to the stories of its central characters, this documentary is as complicated as life. It’s happy, sad and uncertain — genuinely moving and uplifting, yet never reassuring.

On its exotic surface, Wildcat might hold all the trappings of a standard wildlife conservation documentary, but lurking beneath the lushly photographed camouflage is a tenderly moving, deeply empathetic human survival story that has as much to do with emotional trauma as it does with the physical.

At times Wildcat is a difficult watch, raw and unflinching.

While the points where Wildcat goes beyond simply being a feel-good nature documentary and delves into Harry’s mental health struggles are honest, they raise more questions than they answer.

Wildcat remains a tense, diverting study of a man struggling with internal demons while doing his best for an initially helpless creature.

In shaping this narrative, though, Lesh and Frost have left out details that would have deepened and broadened Wildcat.
