Learning to look at loss, accept it and embrace grief is a big part of what Jody learns, and what movies like this one pass on to children on those rare occasions a film has the nerve to challenge kids this way this one still does.

a visually stunning and ultimately heart-wrenching film about family, tragedy and the cruelty of mother nature.

The Yearling is a family film for those families who don't mind collectively shedding a tear or two.
