Come see the remarkable Don't Let's Go To The Dog's Tonight, screening Thursday September 18th at the Paradise Cinemas! Tickets are available now at The Open Book!
Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight thrusts us into the tumultuous world of 8-year-old Bobo, whose childhood unfolds on her family's Rhodesian farm, now Zimbabwe, as the Bush War rages to its bitter end. Set against this turbulent backdrop, and seen through her eyes, we witness the family's desperate attachment to Africa's soil and the deep, festering scars of a war that reshapes both land and soul. Tackling thorny themes with fierce intelligence and a wonderful performance by Lexi Venter, Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight is a striking feature debut from writer-director Embeth Davidtz.
What the critics are saying:
"This is a tremendous directorial debut in every way." - Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
The movie is sometimes funny, sometimes heartrending, but always invitingly candid and relatable. In its specificity it winds up being universal: As children, we really were odd little beasts, weren’t we? - Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal
The grand takeaway is Venter’s astonishing turn. That kid’s got a future, and it began with a filmmaker who knew how to direct her. - Ryan Lattanzio, IndieWire
