Alpha is an absolutely stunning and beautifully shot film that had me with my jaws dropped at some scenes. However, the story is incredibly slow and dull, with very little character interaction to speak of. The characters speak in an invented language, which sounds very real, however, because of this barrier, the directors seem to avoid using dialogue as much as possible, making the movie fell empty and lonely. While this empty feel can be argued to set the tone when Keda is thrust away from his tribe, that feeling stays with the viewer even when all the characters are together. The movie is about a boy who loses his tribe and befriends a wolf, but the segments where Keda is with the wolf are the most dreadful by far. Absolutely nothing happens here, and the movie begins to drag around this part. Overall, Alpha is a beautiful but incredibly slow film with poor characterization but a unique premise.
