In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Despite a disconcerting title, Dogwoman enjoyably combines mystery, comedy and romance. Margaret O'Halloran (Dogwoman) has many of the characteristics we cherish in a dog: Determination, faithfulness and the need to smell everything. At times there seems to be just as many dogs in this film as there are people. Thus, dog lovers should appreciate it.Set in the Australian bush, the film manages to depict the essence of rural living. I don't know how the film makers managed it, but many of the characters appear to be based on my neighbors, and I live in rural Norway.In summary, Dogwoman offers an evening of enjoyable entertainment.
