Le Règne Animal is a bunch of unfulfilled ideas: it might look like an horror movie but it is not scary enough; it might look like a post-apocalyptic story but then again we are not given to understand where it comes from and where it goes; it might even be a father and son story but that would be rather superficial wouldn't it be? Or might it be a moralistic and politically correct story about diversity and gender discrimination?
Since the movie seems to be wanting to pursue each of the above themes, it doesn't fully deliver on any - and the beautiful photography is not enough to save the day.
