Well, having read jean m. auels books from the 1980's about ayla the sapien- like girl who were found by a tribe of neanderthals that took her in and brought her up, well its a speculativ fantasystory that ranges over 6 thick volumes, that leads me back to my point and main subject of this film, William, a lab prepared humaneanderthal born from a human and spliced by cloning the genomes of respective spieces. its speculative times square, and lots of mindboggeling impressions i have had after viewing the film. the weakness of the film is the superior lack of development in the'' making bacon '' part of the story and how the bun beacame a wedding cake of two species . you are getting some flashbacks of williams upbringing, but not the scientific part of the bit, so for the sci-fi people this film could have been a marvel , but can be a dissapointment for some. buuuuut the maincast does deliver a great performance, some of the extras does not, the light and depth of the filmo are outstanding, and its very cleverly composed and presented by the director and editor.. but as an good old grumpy neanderthal i think the story could have dug deeper, and especially the confrontational phases could have been more developed, but that maybe done in the sequel about an indochinese neanderthal. although quasiscientifical,its a passable mix of humanity, moral, ethics and fantasy.i recommend with a seven.
