Directed by Albert Hughes. With Kodi Smit-McPhee, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Marcin Kowalczyk, Jens Hultén. In the prehistoric past, a young man struggles to return home after being separated from his tribe during a buffalo hunt. He finds a similarly lost wolf companion and starts a friendship that would change humanity.

I didn’t realize I had to manually turn on subtitles until about half way through the movie, which I guess says more about how well the acting was able to convey the story than it says about my ability to pick up on things.
