Review of Four Dogs

Four Dogs (2013)
6/10
A slice of life, decently shot and written
9 September 2019
It's a slice-of-life story centered on two bored, sad, lonely men who hang out together. One lives with his aunt, doing household chores. The other is an aspiring actor.

There isn't a plot, just a series of conversations and vignettes. There's a little humor and a little drama, but not a great amount of either. A friend of the aunt's drops who's also sad and lonely drops by for a few days.

Frankly, that all sounds dull, doesn't it -- watching sad people muddle through a few days? The movie's saving grace is that it's well-acted, well-written, and nicely shot. The characters seem real and you wish each of them well.

As slice-of-life stories go, this was decently done. If you're looking for a comedy, a drama, or a story arc instead of a character study, you'll be disappointed.
