My Life As A Dog - 80s
★★★1/2 - maybe 4
Notable Actors: None
This is a (I think) Swedish film about a young adolescent boy working through the traumas of life. Its kind of a funny drama with many interesting characters. This young boy has lost his father, is losing his mother, and losing his dog, which is just about the final straw for him. But amidst all this he finds happiness and pleasure amongst the many eccentics of a small town he stays in. On Netflix the common sense rating 11+, and it doesnt get too depressing or have extreme nudity, but its definitely there, and is talked of quite a bit. Not to mention the bit of mischeif the young boy insists on getting into... Overall this movie was pretty good, held my attention ok at least, though definitely not for the younger or anyone seeking lots of action. I bet if there was anyone out there who was looking to really evaluate a movie, look for metaphors, symbollism, this is your one.
