Those reviewers that rate this docu with a low score because it's slow? First of all, why are you watching this documentary? Fancy yourself a foodie but wants to be spoon-fed? Sorry, this docu's not for you. Go watch a MCU movie, your brain will be less exercised than watching this one, while other parts of your body will be more stimulated - guaranteed. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee.

This film really doesn't offer much insight into the working of the Truffle Hunting Industry - there are metric tons of European/BBC food/travel TV shows that covered more ground than this docu/film. But this IMO is intentional, as the director wants to protect the old men and pay respect to their work/passion/livelihood. It is however a great documentary for those that care for the humanity within a rarefied "industry." Also for those that appreciate cinematography that speaks for itself, a shot's meaning further revealed and enforced as it (slightly) lingers.

My wife's a dog lover, while I'm always one that appreciate a film that reveals the humanity of real people. Both of us never get tired of the loyalty of dogs and their loving owners. This film delivers for both of us, in spades.
