Editor’s note: Our short take on Savages (2024): A confident blend of Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, focused more on tone than spectacle. Claude Barras keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Performances (especially Babette De Coster, Martin Verset, Laetitia Dosch) give the story human stakes. At 1h 27m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
