I went to the LFF hoping to pickup on some promising talent and tasteful cinema and this film made my night. Anthony Yazbeck's Raining Dogs proves that the humblest onscreen approaches work best and give such honest insight. It succeeded at narrating the utmost delicate event in a young person's life by portraying a marriage between the shedding of innocence and grasping perplexity. What I liked most about the film is how it managed to keep me in an ongoing state of suspense while it built up to the climax that burst so smoothly. It was such a satisfying watch in many aspects. In addition to its remarkable script, the camera language and fine editing gives you a sense of being part of the action played out by three very rich characters that I grew fond of in a short span of time.
This film made an impact on me and I went on to watch it again when it became available. I am genuinely interested to see how the young filmmaker will evolve.
