Audience Reviews for A Dog's Will

Nov 04, 2016

The film is contaminated by the aesthetics of television and its theatrical origins are quite evident (especially in its excess of dialogue), but this is all more than compensated by how delicious it is and the intelligent way that it tackles social matters and class inequalities in Brazil.

This was lots of fun! Brasillian comedy about the life of two poor friends who have to do tricks to survive. It becomes funnier when one of them dies with a bunch of other people from the village and goes to the final court of justice. There he meets the Black Jesus, mother Marry and the Satan. Thanks to Marry he has a second chance to go back to life, help his friend to marry the girl he wants and be a better man. Solid comedy with an over the top story and exaggerated but good acting.
