I was lucky to see this film at the Australian Film Festival at the Barbican in London. It sounded like a heart wrencher - and it was! OK, so the performances can tend towards the clichéd or perhaps wooden and the story is a little slow in spots BUT I loved it. A really touching film, shot beautifully with some great Aussie scenery! A world that few get to experience. And Koko is amazing as Red Dog! I haven't read Louis de Bernieres story that is based on, or even heard of the "folk tale" that the movie is based on, but the story is compelling. Oh, and some great Aussie music forms the soundtrack. And of course a bit of crazy Aussie dancing (and fashion) that goes along with it!

I was a bit weary of seeing Red Dog as I'm not always a fan of Australian movies. However I was asked to go and I never turn down a chance to go to the cinema's. I really enjoyed Red Dog. It had quite a lot of good humour, with it's fair share of terrible jokes. There was a lot of emotion packed into the film, that almost felt a bit rushed at bits. It would take you to one end of the spectrum to the other without so much as a warning. Although the film was enjoyable I feel like it is a film that would only appeal to Australian's as there was a lot of slang and jokes that only Aussie's would get, but I could be wrong. Overall I gave it an 8 out of 10 purely because Red Dog is just an awesome character! Go and give Red Dog a go, you just might enjoy it!

Director Kriv Stenders did an excellent job bringing the legend to life, opting to make it a comedy instead of a soppy drama.

'Red Dog' is beautifully filmed with beautiful cinematography and great storytelling. Throw in a good soundtrack, a lovable dog that is bound to steal your heart, action, adventure and some drama, and you have an overall enjoyable feature. The dog is just so adorable with the most gorgeous face!

I don't generally watch comedies, but this was bloody marvelous, mate, and really funny. I wasn't prepared for the unexpected events that shocked me, but the director soon returned the film to the lighthearted mood. 'Red Dog' is an incredible film that will make you want to give your dog a great big hug after seeing this. This is a moving and captivating story, with likable characters.
