    Dogs Don't Wear Pants

    ★★★

    Certainly a lot of style shown here and the two leads are really convincing. Less effective whenever it goes for melodrama. Has a great ending at least.

    Rye Lane

    ★★★½

    As long as you remember to wave, you'll get pretty invested in this particular romantic story. David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah's charismatic performances draw you in and their chemistry is contagious.

    ★★½

    Visually goes beyond its budget, production design being the highlight, but falls apart on the page. Unimaginative drama and poorly written dialogue swallow the characters whole.

    ★★★½

    Director-writer Chie Hayakawa and her lead actor Chieko Baishô create a poignant, thought-provoking character journey. The film's central conflict is introduced and employed with such ease by the filmmaker.

    Smileys: Premise, Chieko Baishô

    Frowneys: Nothing too bad
