Funny, action-packed, chockers with references for Gen-Xers to chuckle at and with enough heart to avoid feeling cynical.

… beautiful and involving …

In a context where attention is fragmented and compassion often fatigued, We, Our Pets and the War insists on a simple, undeniable truth: the way people treat animals in moments

... an engaging and interesting film that’s anything but bleak.

... can often feel like the characters themselves do at one point: walking in circles.

… a haunting if slow-moving exploration of loneliness, idolization, and the dangerous allure of fantasy.

… an enriching look at art and the complicated relationships we share with it.

… a bloody great little horror film.

… exacting and believable, watching it can feel like you’re involved in an emphatically unhealthy situation.

… suffers from the incoherence it depicts, not knowing when to finish its world building.

… shades of Michael Haneke here – Amrum has a very similar feel to The White Ribbon.

Foy gives a brave, honest performance …

… a well-constructed cinematic ballad that manages to harmonise brutal genre trappings and audio with light and breezy NY rom-com aesthetics

… a feel-good movie that isn’t afraid to make the audience (and even its characters) earn those feels …

… a fun and heart-warming romp …

[Bryan Cranston] ... anchors a bold and powerful production which is well worth catching.

… the best way to enjoy this obtuse, bizarre Japanese cult classic.

... a film about an author in crisis — an artist searching for a new form but becoming trapped within his own imagery.

… dramatically inert yarn that progressively feels more and more like a slog.
