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.

This is the perfect movie for those days you’re convinced that dogs are better than people—even if that’s every day.

[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.

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.

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

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]

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]

Hats off to all involved in making this film so enjoyable. Not to mention the brilliant acting. The Nani a for superb. The dogs all deserve Oscar’s. I mean this. A film that’s different. I enjoyed every minute of it. I’m surprised I missed this film until now and I’m so glad I’ve watched it because it’s one of my all time favourites. I recommend this film. It might not appeal to everyone because people have different tastes but I absolutely loved this film.

Captivating. Unrealistic but in a way that matches what we can daydream about. Tragic, yet beautiful. Brilliant acting. Worth your time.

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
