Paddy had me in tears, again!
This short film is already emotional, but what Paddy created on Tyrannosaur is really special for me and captures humanity so simply, still touching. Go watch it if you didn't already. -
Dog Altogether is Paddy Considine's short film that went on to form the basis for his impressive full-length feature debut, Tyrannosaur. Like that subsequent film, this short is no less an impressive watch, but it is equally a dark, harrowing and sobering watch too, made in the shadows of Alan Clarke and Ken Loach.
*hugs my own dog tightly*

Each time I watch a short film that later developed into a great feature film I think about Shiva Baby and the fact that the director thought the cinema needed an extended version of that piece of crap.

"Dog Altogether"
Ein guter Kurzfilm von Paddy Considine, der als Bonusmaterial auf dem Mediabook von Kino Kontrovers von dem Film "Tyrannosaur" vorhanden ist.

I was wondering how they would fit over 90 minutes' worth of a film down to 16, but I wasn't expecting this to basically just be the first 15 minutes of the later feature.
I like the different style, but there's really not too much here you don't get out of the full "Tyrannosaur".

I didn't expect any different, I knew this would be as heartbreaking as the length film and somehow I think is even worse.

The short film that was the test run for Paddy Considine's powerful Tyrannosaur. I have to say, save for the fact that the great Olivia Colman has very little to do here, I actually like this better than the feature. Because it doesn't have to unpack the story another fifty minutes, pile on the heavy theme of two people saving one another, or need to crest into a satisfying ending, it feels far more authentic and genuine, and the rougher camera work gives off a stronger sense of neo-realism. I dig it.

A powerful short film from first time director Paddy Considine, Journeyman (2017), about a man who is going down the self destruct route via a life of uncontrollable violence. Peter Mullen’s extremely powerful and disturbing performance is complemented by Considine’s documentary-esque direction. The film succeeds in its reflection of realism in today’s society whilst showing us that help and hope can be just around the corner.

Great movie comes from small beginning.
I was flickering my phone while browsing this short film and I enjoyed watching it.

Paddy Considine used to say that without Peter Mullan, he wouldn't have made this short about his father. And i do understand why when i whatched it.
When violence is the only way you know to communicate since you were a child.
