or comfortable .or classic children film , ignoring the expectations of the young public. because it is one of sweet stories about brave young people, generous bushiman, noble revenge and adventure in clean style. and the only good thing remains the cast and its effort to save a too generous script in idyllic perspective about the survive.

An awful, totally unrewarding film version of a beautiful, vivid and moving book. Read a 'A Far Off Place' and its prequel 'A Story Like the Wind' by Laurens Van der Post and you will understand. LVP is a skilled story teller and uses language in a way that totally brings the characters and the world on the page alive. This film killed it dead. I know its not easy to translate a book to the screen because how you see the film is always governed by how your imagination brought the book to life. This 'effort' was SO disappointing. Made me want to go back and re-read the book to reassure myself of its brilliance. This comment thing keeps asking me for another line - but I really don't know what to say, other than 'don't bother'.

I loved the movie and being there during takes Wow. I danced and danced and talk Reese some of my language and the music in the seen by the fire place while Ethan watching. By then the actress was 15 at that time if i still recall. It was in winter back then 12 hours on set but made it. This was in Zimbabwe . The bushmen is a local actor from Harare and had many people ask if he was from the God must be crazy. But just the resemble.I love the movie because it is good for children and everyone would see it and understand without worrying what going on and help with the geographical location of the Kalahari desert and how important the wildlife is for the future.That some people will kill for anything and not think of future of our children.Save the horns, Rhinos,elephants,and every wildlife

This movie about the struggles of these young people in a hostile environment, not knowing who to trust, and learning to know and trust themselves and each other, truly touched me. I have the tape and it is one that I enjoy watching again and again. Several observers have indicated that "A Far Off Place" is a poor re-make of the Australian-set "Walk-About". If they had paid attention to the writing credits, they would have found that "Walk-About" was based on the novel of the same name by James Vance Marshall. "A Far Off Place" is based on two novels by Laurens van der Post: "A Story of the Wind" and "A Far Off Place". Van der Post was by far the more acclaimed author. Several reviewers of both movies have commented on the animal death scenes. In this movie, in the Kalahari, the unanswered question I have wondered about is; what happened to Nonni's dog?
