Short review: This was the third Secret Screening at Fantastic Fest this year. When it was announced I had never heard of it and had to do a quick IMDb search to find out what I was in for. It didn't really sound like my kind of thing, but I went in with an open mind hoping to be pleasantly surprised. It was a middling film. It had some good stuff, it had some bad stuff. But for the most part, other than a great performance by Caleb Landry Jones, it was pretty forgettable.
The film takes the approach of: who could hate dogs? It gets a lot of its brownie points from close ups of dogs making cute faces. It works, but it's also a little cheap and easy.
I heard mixed things about this after the show. Some saying it their favourite of the fest, others saying their least favourite. I can see it being quite a divisive experience. For me it was somewhere in the middle. 6/10.
