Space Dogs documentary

"Excellently photographed and occasionally helped by a sober, evocative voiceover, the film proves something of a ruse, using its space-faring conceit mostly as an excuse to spend most of an hour and a half following a pack of indifferent street mutts around silently." 

"'Space Dogs' commits to its art-house pretensions. The result isn’t pleasant, but it does effectively provoke." 

"It conjures an unflinching and all too vivid portrait that vaults from moments of tenderness to scenes of unspeakable violence (...) It’s an exercise in empathy––and a spellbinding one at that." 

"Beware – Elsa Kremser and Levin Peter’s title is the scariest film of the year (...) [It] stayed with me well past the credits, although I was exhausted beyond recognition." 

"Soviet archive film is juxtaposed with inane modern footage of Moscow strays, marring what might have been an insightful documentary (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
