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.

Due to the fact that I'm a Dog Lover I'm probably a little biased. However, I did think this was a well done movie. It had an "Indie" feel to it.
It also had a very heart wrenching story line to boot. I also went into this not expecting anything really. Boy was I surprised! I found myself glued to the screen. Like I said I personally am a dog lover, but this did have a great story. The acting by the main character was very good.
To be fair it is probably not for everyone, but if you are a dog lover this one is a must watch! The story illustrates just how loyal, and healing a good dog can be in a person's life. In this case a lot of dogs...lol.
I would totally watch this one again!

I don't write reviews even for my own films but I have to take the time and write this review. I love this movie, love love it. Everything about it. Especially the love for the dogs from the main character. He is an amazing actor. The story. The music . The cinematography...It's very special.
I normally don't watch drama or dog movies because it's sad, it's depressing and when the dogs died in the films, it feel like I need to get therapy to get over it but this film is not that. It's still an uplifting film despite its drama. Just as the main character, despite what happened, he still is so well mannered, well spoken and his love for the dogs is still the same.
Thank you for making the film. Thank you.

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!

This film is simply brilliant, whatever the fervent critics say! A great Luc Besson's movie like we haven't seen in a while. Being compared to an insipid Joker it shows how little it's been understood. Just because an outsider struggles to survive despite the horrors he has been through doesn't mean he is a Joker's copycat! Films about men with broken souls existed before the Joker! Anyway, this film is full of tenderness and poetry, with impeccable picture quality and breathtaking scenes such as the Edith Piaf's song performance: mind blowing! BRAVO and I hope Caleb Landry Jones will get an Oscar nomination, more than deserved!!

- TriviaIn total, 15 dog trainers were needed to get all the dogs necessary for the movie. Already-trained dogs were preferred to avoid wasting time on training new dogs. Before shooting the dog scenes, Caleb Landry Jones spent three days with the trainers and their dogs to get comfortable with the canines.

Douglas Munrow: I always liked disguises. It's what you do when you don't really know who you are, right? You dress up, you make up a past to forget your own.
Evelyn: Did you know anyone else? Somebody that could show you some attention or affection?
Douglas Munrow: A child takes affection where he can get it. They're my babies. As far as I can tell, they only have one flaw: they trust humans.
