Critics Consensus

While Besson, Landry Jones, and a pack of mutts lend DogMan their roaring souls, this entry offers ample creative risks and kibbled returns.

Stephanie Zacharek TIME Magazine This is the perfect movie for those days you’re convinced that dogs are better than people—even if that’s every day. Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) [Caleb Landry Jones] is astounding in this role, so you sit there completely engaged in this film where there is not a single believable moment in it. Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I wouldn't recommend watching DogMan for its half-baked rumination on god or forgiveness... But I would recommend watching this if you are curious to see how far Caleb Landry Jones is willing to go. Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Philip Bagnall Loud and Clear Reviews Despite a terrific lead turn from Caleb Landry Jones, Luc Besson’s stylish drama/thriller Dogman just isn’t original enough to be memorable. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Jesús Palacios Fotogramas A baroque comicstrip superhero who is also a supervillain, 'Dogman' is a beast that does not know or respect norms, genres or styles. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/5 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Blai Morell Fotogramas What was supposed to be a return to form results in a whim as subtle as a sandwich made out of bottlecaps. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

dom s original crazy tragic dark twisted sweet. it’s a lovely movie by luc besson. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Texas713 Great movie a very good storyline. We enjoyed it very much. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Scott H A beautifully told story. Besson at his best. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Stefan V Captivating. Unrealistic but in a way that matches what we can daydream about. Tragic, yet beautiful. Brilliant acting. Worth your time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Chris W Most dog movies are mediocre. Not Dogman. Dogman borders on fantasy, in that it's neither a biography nor a "based on a true story" kind of movie. Dogman is a unique, surreal, and wonderful story about a man who survives the worst life can offer to come out the other side as an amazing human being. The acting was fantastic. Caleb Landry Jones did an amazing job. Every actor in the movie, both human and canine, was exceptional! It's a great movie so suspend your disbelief, sit back, and enjoy the show. It's a story you'll remember for a very long time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Claire R Amazing movie. It deserves way more than a 60. Its so stunningly done. The main character is beautiful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
