Man... this film is so beautifully made, from the writing, to its direction, editing and performance. The whole package. It was a breath of fresh air, alternating between laughter and tears on the exhales. The cast (both human and canine) delivers with authenticity and heart. It's hard not to relate to the story, whether it's your dog you've lost, someone you love... or yourself. We've all needed that catalyst at one time or another to reconnect with ourselves and the people that mean everything to us. In Hangdog, Tony is the pup who takes us there. Easily one of my favorite films of the year. I so hope it reaches the broader audience it deserves. Bravo.

If you want to feel seen, watch this film

I could watch this film over and over again. I had the pleasure of seeing a screening of it in the city it was filmed in: Portland, Maine... The writing is incredibly clever and tells a story you're immediately invested in. I cried, felt joy, and laughed like I haven't laughed in a long time. The direction is beautiful and honest, making it easy to feel a part of the story. And the acting! Pure and authentic. The characters' realness grabs you and tugs at your guts (in the best way). Do yourself a solid and find a way to see this film. You'll relate, connect to yourself, and feel seen when it's over.
