What a magnificent film.
It's a heartbreaker in so many ways - the animals, the woman desperately trying to feed them and care for them, her husband who is increasingly frustrated by the imposition of them on his life and finally the caring people from Woodstock Sanctuary.
They are the true heroes of this film.
They have seen the effects of hoarding of animals before and they see it again in this case.
They know the main subject of the film means well, hoarders usually do - but it's the animals who suffer.
How they manage the situation - with plenty of care and compassion and their dealing with a woman obsessed with her animals is the heart of the film.
So too the relationship between the woman and her husband.
It all packs a big emotional punch.
Highly recommended but tissues a must.
One of the fine animal rescuers later died after the film was completed - what a sad loss.
