Reviews for Dog Run
Interesting yet lopsided drama focusing on homeless youth in New York.
Keeps you glued to its images of helplessness, acceptance of sub-human conditions and the effects of drugs on malleable minds.
The refusal to make the squatting and drug-using lifestyle exciting or exaggeratedly excruciating is commendable.
As much as Dog Run may lament the squatters' lives ... it can't abandon the old dream of dropping out of middle-class life and reinventing oneself as a romantic rebel.
DuPlessis and Marc look too old for their teenage roles and aren't given enough to work with in the character development department.
Consisting of little more than episodes, impressions and stock misfit characters.
The characters are real and fleshed-out, and we care about what happens to them.
As Eddie and Miles become involved with two women ... the film becomes less realistic and more contrived.
