A beautiful film shot in one of Australia's most iconic locations that reconstructs a true tale of an Australian larrikan in the manner that these stories are meant to be told, serious, but with a nudge & a wink. It was refreshing that the Director (Kriv Stenders) & the human actors never tried to upstage the true star of the movie Red Dog (Koko), letting him become the focus of the story.It is important that Australian cinema continues to look at the 1,000's of little stories that make us what we are, the stories of towns & people that are often overlooked in our desire to be recognized overseas. Movies like Red Dog are a window to our soul. Also, an Australian film without the painful slow pace & without the obligatory close up shot of something totally unrelated to the movie ... refreshing!

i was lucky enough to see this last year in Melbourne for a exclusive viewing, then i got to comment on what i thought of it. This movie is amazing. it is now my favorite movie. Now i know that people will be like... whatever. but i joined this website and took the time to let as many people as i can know that this movie is by far the greatest Australian movie ever. It makes so laugh and cry. It makes you fall absolutely in love with red dog and really appreciate the companionship of animals. I have nothing bad to say about this movie. I really suggest everyone goes to see this in the cinema. I have already planned to see it another two times. 10/10

Director Kriv Stenders did an excellent job bringing the legend to life, opting to make it a comedy instead of a soppy drama.'Red Dog' is beautifully filmed with beautiful cinematography and great storytelling. Throw in a good soundtrack, a lovable dog that is bound to steal your heart, action, adventure and some drama, and you have an overall enjoyable feature. The dog is just so adorable with the most gorgeous face!I don't generally watch comedies, but this was bloody marvelous, mate, and really funny. I wasn't prepared for the unexpected events that shocked me, but the director soon returned the film to the lighthearted mood. 'Red Dog' is an incredible film that will make you want to give your dog a great big hug after seeing this. This is a moving and captivating story, with likable characters.
