Critics Consensus

While Besson, Landry Jones, and a pack of mutts lend DogMan their roaring souls, this entry offers ample creative risks and kibbled returns.

This is the perfect movie for those days you’re convinced that dogs are better than people—even if that’s every day. Go to Full Review

[Caleb Landry Jones] is astounding in this role, so you sit there completely engaged in this film where there is not a single believable moment in it. Go to Full Review

I wouldn't recommend watching DogMan for its half-baked rumination on god or forgiveness... But I would recommend watching this if you are curious to see how far Caleb Landry Jones is willing to go. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Despite a terrific lead turn from Caleb Landry Jones, Luc Besson’s stylish drama/thriller Dogman just isn’t original enough to be memorable. Go to Full Review

5/5
A baroque comicstrip superhero who is also a supervillain, 'Dogman' is a beast that does not know or respect norms, genres or styles. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

What was supposed to be a return to form results in a whim as subtle as a sandwich made out of bottlecaps. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Jill V C 01/07/2025 Very original and well done… I loved it! See more dom s 04/10/2024 original crazy tragic dark twisted sweet. it’s a lovely movie by luc besson. See more Texas713 04/06/2024 Great movie a very good storyline. We enjoyed it very much. See more Wayne K 1d DogMan is one of those fascinating films with a terrific premise that, while not a ground breaker, does plenty to keep you invested. There’s plenty of times when we prefer animals to humans. Their undying loyalty, their unconditional love and how, sometimes, they seem to understand us better than we understand ourselves. The lead is a complex figure, a man who’s inherent flaw is his inability to connect to other human beings, something which ends up being a surprising advantage. The interrogation scenes that give us the best window into our protagonist’s mind. Driven not be greed or spite but by a twisted desire to do good. Caleb Landry Jones really sells the performance and the gradual transformation, giving us a character full of anger and despair, cloaked with a cheery smile and more than a few polite words. It’s the kind of movie I’d encourage you to see without knowing anything about beforehand. If you do, just like going to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise. See more Rolando L @arlopeznieto Jan 11 I absolutely love this movie, the lead actor's performance is superb and the story is compelling. And if you happen to be a dog lover, then you're going to love this movie even more. See more Mike R @MikeHotWheelz Dec 13 I have never been more happy to suspend my disbelief. I was captivated by the acting and the premise and the wonderful dogs. Who cares if the storyline is unbelievable; it felt GOOD. See more Read all reviews
