| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectStunning mixture of understated social criticism and minimalism a la Kurismaki. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn impactful allegorical apolitical naturalistic film about Tibetans treated like dogs and losing their identity under modern Red China's brutal rule. |
| Time OutDavid FearIt's both a sly piece of ethnography and a social satire that reads like a cosmic joke...right up until its climax makes the chuckle catch in your throat. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyOld Dog has the look and feel of a documentary, which adds senses of urgency and immediacy to a tale that moves at a languid, but never boring, pace. |
| User ReviewMichael HExplores generational differences represented by the father who resolutely adheres to his unwavering faithfulness to his family, his traditions, and his dog (who holds aspects of both tradition and family) and the son to whom everything is a commodity and to whom tradition and faithfulness have no real value. The conclusion caused consternation, puzzlement, and revulsion in the audience - primarily, I think, by being viewed through the filter of rather privileged and insulated urban American experience. Unfortunately, the image resolution is terrible. The movie looks as if it was shot using 20 year old security cameras. |
