Dogman

“A movie with incomparable bite and strength.”

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian · 100

“Perhaps the most impressive thing about a hugely impressive exercise in directorial control is the fact that we come away from an intensely violent film, a film where bones crunch and blood smells, touched by pathos and a strange sense of hope.”

Lee Marshall, Screen Daily · 100

“Though it has far less outright violence than Gomorrah, whose oppressive criminal atmosphere it shares, Matteo Garrone's Dogman is just as intense a viewing experience, one that will have audiences gripping their armrests with its frighteningly real portrayal of a good man tempted by the devil.”

Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter · 90

“Beautifully shot, this character study fascinates in an almost perverse way, building up adequate levels of tension throughout and bursting with disturbing scenes of violence. It is also a tale of solitude, equally tragic and funny, heavy and whimsical.”

Filipe Freitas, Film Threat · 90

“A hyper-realistic urban tragedy Dogman is ferocious and in its own way, much more frightening than “Gomorrah.””
