If you loved North, try Buddy
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Buddy has roughly 3.6× fewer votes than North — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Adventure / Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to North, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Buddy is
Here's a film that asks if interspecies friendship can work, but only answers it in the most literal way possible. Set in the 1920s, a wealthy woman adopts a baby gorilla from Africa and raises him in her home. It's hard to fault a movie that earnestly tries to make a good ape movie.
