Leave your thoughts about Heart of a Dog.
| NewcityRay PrideA stream of consciousness that literally invokes water and rain and snow and bodies of water, writing atop writing, layerings of images, a palimpsest of inscribing atop inscriptions... as well as her voice, always her voice, insistent as ragged memory. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyAnderson's dreamy documentary Heart of a Dog is one of her more outwardly accessible works, and also one of the best movies of the year. |
| Seven DaysRick KisonakAs a child, she tells us, she compulsively tried to imagine "things that have never happened in the history of the world." Older, wiser and never better, Laurie Anderson has imagined a movie that meets that challenge magnificently. |
| Irish IndependentPaul WhitingtonA kind of home movie with hidden depths, Laurie Anderson's Heart of a Dog is discursive, whimsical, jokey, profound: it will infuriate some, but I loved it. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford. The target [of the film] is those, like me, who can appreciate the reflections of a person who has a personal something to say and, especially, about her love (understandable and deserved) for loyal little Lulobelle. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanThe film is often notable for Anderson's honesty. |
| The Film StageRory O'ConnorHighly personal and vaguely enlightening piece of video art. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA content rich cine-essay that mines the many meanings of life, death, story, compassion, and beloved pets. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...a spiritual experience. One can feel the love that went into creating it. |
| El UniversalAlonso Díaz de la VegaStarts out speaking to us about Anderson's intense love for his dog but ends up exposing her as she reflects about her world and the ones she's lost. [Full Review in Spanish] |
