White Dog (1982) - 3.5/5

What starts as an effective idea and a thought-provoking metaphor never quite becomes anything profound, though Fuller's exploration is brave and his intentions important. It isn't a fun film to watch; its presentation is barbaric and sometimes cruel, but the story is always on track and engaging. A reminder that cinema does not always have to be a friendly medium, and that sometimes things are more effectively shown than told.
