Project Nim

From my 2011 Leftovers Marathon, part 6 of 14.



Project Nim, 2011. The life of a chimpanzee raised as a human.

Directed by James Marsh. Based on a book by Elizabeth Hess.

Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)

Acting: n/a
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). Fascinating, and made with apparent objectivity. It's a powerful and sad story, but ultimately not as much of a downer of a movie as it might have been.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.0/4
