Giving this an 7.5/10 rating
This is a fantasy supernatural film, and it's good. It starts off as a drama about a new mother and her son, but is much, much, more, thanks to Director Marielle Heller, and Heller again, with Rachel Yoder, both on writing duty. Amy Adams is the mother who really must put up with a quite a bit of baby mischief and Scoot McNairy, who was playing a father in 'Speak No Evil' a few months ago, is in his element here.
There are lots and lots of dogs, and Amy acting like a dog, it's all very strange and funny, plus it's compelling because of it's premise. And it's based on a book, so go have a read of that, I just wonder how out there that book is, never the less, it's very good, different cinema, with great photography and narrative.
Amy Adams is the draw and the along with the baby boy, both eat the screen up. A very enjoyable and strange film that plays with time and space, well.
