Dinner Dog

Watching this movie while slipping in and out of consciousness on your couch is not recommended. I think it was more disturbing and nightmare like given I myself was sleep drifting through it. I know one thing. When you watch something that makes you think and reflect on it days later, it was quality. The film maker masterfully created something that the viewer feels uneasy, unsafe and plainly paranoid throughout the film. Just as the title character grapples with his mental health so to does the viewer! Beau is someone who has crippling anxiety and schizophrenia, the viewer is made uncomfortable by the maddening settings. Modern audiences can become comfortable and accept even the most grotesque realities and settings in what they are being shown as long as it is consistent. By the end of this film the only thing that was consistent is that Beau is afraid and his mother is the reason.
