Drama Julian Reed and Barbara Sullivan create a Neanderthal baby using ancient Neanderthal DNA from a Neanderthal bog body. William must learn to exist in a world where he is the ultimate outsider, the only Neanderthal on the planet.

	Media	Author	Review
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] strikes a bland compromise between science-fantasy, suspense-melodrama and family entertainment, developing no element to a level that generates more than mild interest."
		Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"A poignant nature-vs.-nurture yarn that shrewdly grounds its ethically questionable Mary Shelley-esque high concept in naturalistic performances and cinematography."
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Impossible to take seriously (...) Despite the exoticism of its subject matter, the film mostly comes across as domestic drama"
		Rex Reed The New York Observer	"There is more sweetness and humanity in 'William' than in most of the time-wasters I’ve seen recently (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
