Relentless Gut-Punch - The Plague Dogs review by griggs
The Plague Dogs, based on Richard Adams’ novel (yes, the Watership Down guy—cheers for the childhood trauma), is a relentless gut-punch of a film. Bleak doesn’t begin to cover it. The misery piles on, and just when you think it can’t get darker, it does. The animation, while beautiful, is rough and grimy, matching the tone perfectly. It’s powerful, sure, but exhausting. It's not something I’d watch again in a hurry. Three stars for bravery, not enjoyability.
