Viktor Kahdem is a man who has almost given up on life, sentenced to a low-security prison farm, a completely non-threatening environment where it is still felt that some individuals can be reformed. At Won Wron, Case Worker Matt Perry has established a unique program to rehabilitate broken men through giving them the responsibility for the rehabilitation of injured raptors - beautiful, fearsome proud eagles, falcons and owls. Against all odds, Matt takes on Viktor as his number one test case, introducing him to Yasmine, the majestic wedge tailed eagle with a 2 metre wingspan. If these two can tame each other, anything is possible.

Reviews

mads leonard holvik I really liked this movie. I never felt it was too long or boring. In fact, the movie gave me space to reflect and to do my own soul searching as I watched the main character trying to find a way, trying to find himself. Is he the hopeless man who ruined it for his family and brought shame on and abandoned his son? Or is he something more, something he can only find by being given a new chance by an understanding prison warden and by connecting with these birds of prey who also need help? More than anything I liked this movie for the glimps it gave into how humans can be good to each other even though it is difficult. There is a way if we are willing to try.

amythest-12830 I was amazed how good this movie was. I have now seen it twice and I still could keep watching it.This movie has a very good story line and a amazing ray of beautiful birds and the message it gave me is "even the broken and hurt can be mended"The guy that plays Victor in this movie does a really good job, the role really suits him very much. Just would also like to say that Yasmine the Eagle in this movie really makes me think about how us humans are threatening there habitat and that really soon they will have nowhere to go at all.This movie will touch your heart and really makes you think.

Lammasuswatch We keep hearing that the Australian film industry is in the doldrums.... Well, "Healing" will restore your faith in its health. Excellent cinematography, good music, a good script and some really fine performances, particularly from the three male leads, Hugo Weaving, Don Hany and Xavier Samuel. But every performance in this film is good, and Jane Menelaus is so convincing as the Sanctuary's Raptor Expert that one could believe that is her day job. And Yasmine the wedge-tailed eagle, plus some very cute owls, nearly steal the show. Another star of the show is atmospheric shots of the beautiful scenery.The movie takes a leisurely pace, but this is absolutely fitting to parallel the slow rate of healing for all of these damaged animal and human characters. It also reflects the slow routine of the prisoners' lives.Some critics have called this film too predictable in its outcome, but if things come out well for the characters we care about, what's wrong with that? It's nice to have that happen occasionally!Definitely the highlight Australian film of the year for me!

Virginia M Don't miss this sublime experience!For a lover of good cinema, great story & acting, awe-inspiring and perfectly chosen music, in addition to the uniquely beautiful Australian bush, ecological elements of humans interconnectedness with nature and the ability to heal from extreme adversity.Each frame of this movie, each eagle-eye aerial view, each close-up has been so beautifully crafted it had me in tears.Please treat yourself and family, as well as all your friends.This wonderful cinematic experience can only leave you feeling fundamentally changed and the World a better place.
