This period crime movie boasts a really heavy atmosphere; a true crime story that shows police work and period background rather than chasing sensation. Several times the viewer gets confused about who the perpetrator really is and, frankly, I wouldn't want to judge this case. And I wouldn't even want to live in a country where guilt or innocence is decided by a lay jury influenced by the tabloids (even sole judges aren’t great, but at least they do their job professionally and are hopefully more resistant to newspaper headlines). IN A NUTSHELL: When someone's life is on the line, never blindly believing what seems so obvious.

A movie that quite deliberately and repeatedly tries to break your heart with every flash sad beady eyes and every pant of wet snout. The story of a wandering dog soul recounts the stories of the people he meets along the way, but in the end he sticks to the first story, which had the most potential. They made a sickly-sweet tearjerker that will have dog lovers crying their hearts out. Granted, this is a high quality tearjerker, and such are sometimes needed, but... IN A NUTSHELL: ... sorry, I prefer cats!

Pretty average. The animation didn't impress, the story was average, the way some of the villains making good at the end was unconvincing and there was far too little humor. IN A NUTSHELL: This is a bit of a blast from the past, and now it’s gone a bit stale.
