Doglike (2023)

Utter masterpiece!! This combination of simplicity and complexity speaks to the mind in a socratic dialogue but then times better!!

**an immersive experience into the reality and critique of poverty**

The film manages to re-ignite deep thought to its viewers on the subject of affluency, fulfillment and socio-economic mobility. The production team created a setting and atmosphere worth of 21st century filming standards in regards to camera angles, editing and sound. The main and secondary actors do an excellent job performing their scripts and so they tightly grip the viewer's mind into the content of the film. The viewer is indirectly asked to reflect on their level of humanism, stress and appreciation of life as the plot unravels. Overall, the film leaves a significant emotional impact which could inspire viewers to see their life in a better way and sympathize with the struggles and emotional responses of those who find themselves in a tight spot, even maybe inspire them to take action to assist such people in better ways.

'Doglike' is the perfect representation of the undergrounds of London. A simple, yet impactful dialogue between two people that, at first sign might look different, but that have more in common than they want to admit to each other. The director and writer captured, beautifully, the struggles of our society: reaching out to conclusions without knowing the real story behind a person and immediately making the worst assumptions out of an individual. It is a fascinating portrayal of how opportunities and situations can make someone, or leave them stranded to fend for themselves. Absolutely stunning!
