A wonderfully heartfelt and simply happy documentary that I highly recommend. Dangerous Companions is an incredible story about a man named Kevin Richardson who trains and cares for the wild animals at a game reserve near Johannesburg, South Africa. It is a rosy depiction of his life and relationship with the animals at the reserve.
They do a very good job at introducing the animals. You get to know the personalities of each animal pretty well. After a particular segment of one of the animals, you think that one is your favorite until you see another. You end up loving all of them and all their quirky traits.
The narrator Nick Boraine is clear, concise, and has a soothing yet energetic voice. The writing is perfect. The story is very easy to follow. You are never confused about which animal goes where and who or what or why. It's simple and effective.
There are a few sad moments but overall it's uplifting and surprisingly filled with many funny parts.
Dangerous Companions: 8.5
with distinction: highly underrated.
