Our take
An astonishingly singular feat of sensorial cinema, Andrea Arnold’s first foray into nonfiction filmmaking finds yet another indelible heroine in Luma, a dairy cow. Resounding with transformative empathy for the inner lives of animals, this powerful documentary wears its loving heart on its sleeve.
