Look, the premise is genuinely interesting: a stay-at-home mom so consumed by the monotony and invisibility of domestic life that she literally starts turning into a dog. It's weird, it's dark, and it's trying to say something real about maternal burnout.
But here's the thing—the execution seems to miss the mark for most viewers. A 40% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, 5.5 on IMDb, and 2.8 on Letterboxd tells you this is a movie that sounds better in theory than it plays in practice. Some parents loved it (shoutout to the r/daddit thread), but most found it slow, uneven, or just not that compelling.
If you're a parent desperately seeking validation for the rage and identity loss of early parenthood, this might resonate. If you're looking for entertainment or a well-executed film, you'll probably be disappointed. It's the kind of movie that sparks important conversations but may bore you while doing it.
Not for kids, obviously. Not really for most adults either, unless you're very specifically in the mood for surreal maternal body horror that may or may not stick the landing.
