Jonathan Romney Screen International Altogether too manic and too eager to be petted. May 20, 2024 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A splendid political fable. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Max Borg Next Best Picture With her ample acting experience, Dosch draws unsurprisingly solid and funny performances from the entire cast, even with parts that are only a few seconds long Rated: 7/10 Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League Unfortunately it doesn’t know what bone it has to pick with the world, and as a result belongs only in the doghouse. May 31, 2024 Full Review Emily DuGranrut In Review Online While there’s no denying that Dog on Trial can feel like a disappointment in some regards, including in its hit-or-miss humor and mostly surface-level philosophical discourse, it’s still an undeniably entertaining and moving project. May 30, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com The film - told skillfully - ends up being much more serious and political than it seemed initially, addressing current problems such as animal rights. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 May 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
