Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

kwhonder This has to be one of the most intelligent moving all encompassing films I have seen in many years. It was a movie about survival in a world that is morally bankrupt. There are so many aspects of it to dissect but I'll focus only on a few. Having an underlying storyline of end of life for dogs was a perfect metaphor. At the point that they come to the shelter, everything has irrevocably changed for these pups and it happens most times due to no error or fault of the dog. It's just that inevitable stage of their lives when no matter how happy or unhappy their prior life, this is now. There's no going back (a line used later in the movie - how clever) The scene where the protagonist comforts a newly arrived dog is very powerful. As forecasted by the dog storyline, the movie is also about broken systems and their impacts on human life. How they bring you to the brink. But there is, if not healing, then redemption. I appreciated the distinction made about 2 of our primary religions. I don't have to delve further because I'm not searching for a religion, but I appreciated the insight into what Islam at its best and most personal can mean. There's brokenness everywhere, and sadly often at the hands of white men, who seem to act with impunity and arrogance. But here's the surprise -the protagonist is white and he is the antithesis to that stereotype. Elizabeth Moss was amazing - so much depth over and beyond her Mad Men days. I get the love story although at times it felt implausible or rushed. But otherwise, truly excellent movie. I hope there is a book behind it somewhere.

montagmusic I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I believe that the film has a tacked on ending, to appease the people who insist on relatively happy endings. You get the sense from the voice-over that "the film ends here", yet we come out on the other side and everyone is smiling. I believe that the same thing was done with The Crying Game. If you end both films on the "fade to black", you have a masterpiece. If you go past that, you have a great independent film that has been Hollywoodized.

bussinessconsulting I am at a lost for words. Any word that I utter will not describe this movie. It was brilliant. It was heart felt. The movie had every emotion in it that one could describe. It was: dramatic, funny, adventurous, suspenseful, and made you want to watch more. I could watch this movie over and over again. The writer, director, actors and all of those who were involved in the making of this move should be commended. Am Oscar will not do this film any justice. It deserves so much more. This movie is a must see.

darcek I really didn't expect much out of this film,but decided ill check it out.This is a well directed,well acted film. It left me touched,and appreciative of the experience. So many raw emotions.The story was evolving and engrossing,the characters,portrayed wonderfully with all their vulnerabilities and inner strength.The film showed characters,wounded from past experiences,rediscover hope in mutual past hurt and brutal experiences,build through it ,and evolve to have future and hope.Most of the film is a drama,but toward the end it speeds up to a thriller and even some action.Everything was conceived ,in my eyes ,to create this immaculate experience.
