Film
Film Synopsis | It is a truth universally acknowledged that, post-pandemic, our canine friends have an ever greater presence in our day-to-day worlds. So too in this film, adapted from a book by Sigrid Nunez, where a writer takes on the Great Dane of her late friend, mentor, and lover. Where films such as Marley & Me announce the heart-string-pulling early on, the terrific dog performance, combined with Naomi Watts’s very convincing writer with creative struggles, achieve ultimately something more subtle. Together they deal with the past and the impact of their late companion on their lives. Notes by Alicia McGivern.
