The Big Dog

Started off great, quirky dialogue, good characters, interesting world of financial guy mixed up with online dominatrix - (dominatrix) is misleading because there is NO SEX in this film nor is it sexy or anything.

Just a bunch of scenes with the main lead talking to a young girl online and getting off on her dominating him and spending his money.

This story is good until it gets to the last act and becomes really weird.

There's a lesson here about marriage and troubled suicidal son - but it's not executed correctly.

Its tries to be serious and funny but none of it quite lands and the refuses to go deeper and evoke any real emotions.

The film is shot well, and the actors are very good, the standout here if Felicity price with an award-winning performance.

Other than that, there isnt anything special.

An easy film to watch, better than 95 percent of any Aussie film made this year in 2023 so congrats to the team in actually having an engaging and interesting story for once.
