naturalistic (comparative more naturalistic, superlative most naturalistic)
- Having the appearance of nature or realism; lifelike or realistic.
- 1989 April 22, Michael Bronski, “National Health?”, in Gay Community News, page 6:
- The genius of High Hopes is in its director's ability to push both his characters and his audience to places they would never think of going. Although the situations are always naturalistic (there is not even any of the arty mise en scene Frears used in Sammy and Rosy or My Beautiful Laundrette), he is not afraid of making his characters caricatures.
- Of or relating to philosophical or methodological naturalism.
