Gorillas in the Mist does a good job of relating the high points of Fossey's life...

There were moments when I felt a touch of awe. Those moments, which are genuine, make the movie worth seeing.

It's hard to make a concrete declaration when Ellen Ripley is right there on the resume, but it's likely that Sigourney Weaver's greatest performance can be found in Gorillas in the Mist.

Gripping biopic has violence, animals in peril.
