Writer-director Marielle Heller's adaptation of Rachel Yoder's novel shifts from body-horror to a purr of earnest assent to bland ideas of motherhood.
Amy Adams delivers what could be her most ambitious performance as a woman turning into a dog, exploring themes of depression and parenthood.
While the film excels at portraying the stress of unsupported motherhood, its dog transformation scenes lack the intended humor or horror elements.
Adams's performance is sympathetic, but the film fails to develop the dog transformation as a compelling metaphor for depression or midlife crisis.
