Red Dog (2011)

It’s nice to see a movie about a dog without CGI giving him queer expressions and making him talk. I love Australian movies. They are strange in all the right ways, featuring unique characters and bizarre plots.

Red Dog is the story of a community-cared-for canine that has a profound effect on the lives of each person living there. It’s not schmaltzy or juvenile. Layers are slowly added via flashbacks. A sweet film for dog lovers and non-dog lovers alike.

Rating: B-
