Review of Isle of Dogs (2018) by Matheo12 — 07 Nov 2018

The film Isle of dogs is a mediocre film for me however you have to give it some credit to them for the effort put in it and the seamless cinematography and high quality animation.The cinematography is amazing as it transitions smoothly and also sets the setting in each scene.Like how one part was when they were in a field and It transitioned to a dump and leter on it moves on to the bridge.Its animations are top notch as they breathe life onto the characters with life like expressions especially the dogs.What makes this movie which has great aspects to carry it fall is its plot.The plot while meant to be a comedic in nature fails to make an impact on the audience.

Throughout the movie one can notice how the dialogue by characters are in Japanese while the Dogs speak in english and they are unable to communicate interspecies.I would like to think that Wes Anderson the director of the film does this in order to showcase that words arent needed in order to build a connection like in society’s case dogs and their best friends.All in all I would understand why people would rate this movie highly however in my opinion it is overall just ok.
