A glossy but visceral “National Geographic entertainment” in which we follow a lioness in Botswana, exiled from her pride and desperately hunting for her three cubs (they don’t all make it). Stunning images in the wild but also a heavy hand of drama pressed along by Jeremy Irons’s grave, pompous narration. Explicit though not prolonged gore. Also, species guilt (we’re ruining the habitat). (2011) — David Elliott
