Of a piece with much of director Laurie Anderson's idiosyncratic output, Heart of a Dog delves into weighty themes with lyrical, haunting grace.

Nothing if not original, this is almost certainly the only movie about a terrier that cites the writing of Wittgenstein and Kierkegaard, the painting of Goya and the wisdom of Jewish grandmothers. May 19, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's less like a lecture than a waking dream, perhaps even a form of hypnosis. May 19, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Language becomes the great unifier in Heart of a Dog. Anderson's nimble words cascade together, gathering momentum and meaning through jarring edits and clashes of imagery. May 19, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Heart of a Dog is a unique, indescribable beast, Anderson narrating over a collage of 8mm home video, iPhone footage, canine-level camera, and animation. If it sometimes wanders a little far afield, it snaps back quickly with some sharp observations. December 4, 2015 | Full Review…

Heart of a Dog is a triumph and not simply in its love and candor, but in its calming ease that gently reminds viewers: no matter what, everything will be OK. August 2, 2019 | Full Review…

This film's disjointed structure and emotional reticence would make a better album than a movie. An album also doesn't demand an engaging overall story to hold our attention, but many of the scenes in this fairly short film had me nodding off. March 7, 2019 | Full Review…

Like much of Anderson's work, Heart of a Dog takes the form of casually constructed, almost meandering reminiscences, while at the same time never losing its tightly structured focus and drive. August 25, 2018 | Full Review…
