Dogman

I finally watched Dogman and didn't expect to like it. The story was very interesting and made me curious about the ultimate fate of the main character. I think Luc Besson is quite good at writing and portraying the character of Douglas. His character also develops throughout the story and is not stuck in a certain situation and certainly not pretentious. What I like about this film is that the dialogues are quite meaningful and in accordance with the reality of human life. A little bit religious. Despite the controversy of Luc Besson, I admit that he is quite good at making films. This film is worthy and fun to watch.

Yes first movie that comes to mind is Joker. Yes it had great acting and yes it was more realistic.

Without spoiling much , acting was amazing, and I loved the ending , it reminded me to magnolia , how the entire movie was "heavy" and then the ending made it "chill out".

Just don't take this movie seriously but pay attention to what it symbolizes like some other reviewers explained. Every thing till add up, second rewatch is recommended to enjoy what the movie symbolizes.

Sound track was great too, it really added to the movie.

I watched a lot of movies in my life and this goes on my top 100.

And I believe this is my first review after using IMDb for more than 10 years.

Amazing work, bravo!

Dogman tells a story of a unique and outlandish character from a kid growing up in broken home and how he survived his adulthood. Categorizing this movie as an action film and a name like 'Dogman' might lead you to expect a fast-paced or a superhero movie, but although there are some action bits in this movie, it mostly deals with social issues, crime and art.

If you are a dog lover you will like this film and you will see plenty of this friendly breed in it, however this film is not about dogs, it could have been about bats or robots (although the name Batman is already taken) with the same kind of success.

Luc Besson does a great job here of telling a story, which he usually does well. I don't know what made him come up with this story but it's not something you see every day. The acting here is superb and made me rate this movie higher than I would otherwise do.

Overall I think this movie is worth watching, as long as you come in with the right expectations. If you can enjoy some art, singing and also some uneasy violent scenes you will enjoy this one. Exact score: 71 / 100.

This bizarre, odd drama/thriller had many critics rolling their eyes I'm disbelief, according to the reviews I read.

I found it daring, ballsy, utterly strange ,poignant and had lots of heart.

It also contains lots of cute,lovely dogs.... Caleb Laundry Jones continues his journey into playing socially detached, awkward characters and like his previous effective performance in Nitram,he isn't afraid of portraying them with a sense of sympathy either.

He's one of the best actors around at the moment.

To play a disabled guy in leg irons,dressed in drag takes courage in today's toxic,cancel culture.

The film is like a twisted version of Oliver Twist,with dogs as the artful dodgers.

The Little Big Man/Forrest Gump style setup works on showing the audience show this strange man with his'children' of dogs came to be.

Only the ending feels rushed and out of place.

I cannot explain why, but this movie just moved me! The story may sometimes be illogical or a bit « too much » but there is just something about it that is worth watching.

It may be the perfect choices of music or the impeccable acting of Caleb Landry Jones.

It's just the kind of movie you have to watch at the big screen and get into it without asking yourself too many questions, just let it take you and it will.

Usually IMDb overrates and I never post a review but I saw so many negatives things without giving it its credit I just had to write something.

I get that people are angry because of Besson's history but films are a collective work.
