Good Boy - Definitely an interesting experience, but more so as an experiment in film making than a great narrative story. There’s a ton of interesting ways they edit, frame, and use prospective to get around the constraints they had and also to really put you into the point of view of a dog. It also is striving for something more than just the gimmick of shooting from a dogs point of view. Without giving too much away, it uses that to explore our relationship with our pets and puts a twist on a dogs ability to sense things going on with ourselves that we can’t see or feel.

It is still rough at times. It’s a very short movie, but it doesn’t always feel like it. There’s some pretty bad examples of telling and not showing. Though I’m willing to forgive that a bit because I’m sure it some of that was down to budgeting constraints. The biggest weakness is the relationship between the main human character and the dog. There’s a montage and one other small scene, but often the human just seems like an asshole to his dog and it ends up hurting the movie.
