COVERFLY/WeScreenplay Coverage:
"This film is just refreshingly novel on a conceptual level. It's as inspiring as it is hopeful. Edmund Burke once said, 'The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.' I think we can reiterate this quote and credit the men, women, and children of Kentucky for having rallied for this incredible law. It's truly an important film.
This film has a proper beginning, middle, and end. It paces well. But more than the story structure, I'd like to take a moment to praise the thematic structure of the film. The film begins with Ethan being abused by his owner before being abandoned by Daniel and Andrea, who is also a victim of abuse. This could've turned Ethan into a bitter dog who is mistrusting of humans. But he chose love and compassion over bitterness and anger. The message is clear and subtle. The themes never hit us in the face.
Jeff's conversations with Ethan are particularly poignant, capturing the profound bond between a man and his dog. These dialogues are filled with heartfelt expressions of care and empathy. I can tell that this film is written by a dog lover(s). The dialogues are exceptionally well-crafted, showcasing a perfect blend of emotional depth and authenticity. Each character's voice is distinct, reflecting their unique personalities and backgrounds.
Since this film is based on an incredible true story, it already has a great marketing peg. This film strikes the perfect balance between festival and commercial cinema. What's striking beautiful about the way it has been written is that it's educational but in a way that is not preachy at all. These are the
kind of endings that linger on our minds long after the film is over."
