Moon Dogs Reviews
Irish Times
Donald Clarke
The three actors play off one another with enthusiasm and the attractive locations are used with great imagination. It always feels like we are in a real place. It always feels like we are with real people. That's just about enough to be going on with.
Times (UK)
Ed Potton
Philip John's feature debut ends up being rather lovely, thanks to a light directorial touch and endearing performances from its three leads.
Observer (UK)
Wendy Ide
Unfortunately, this underpowered story is neither funny nor sexy enough to generate much narrative momentum.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
It has some promising moments, but there is something forced, contrived and a bit cliched about this fey British indie in the road-movie style.
Cineuropa
Vladan Petkovic
An engaging, feel-good road movie with a lot of humour and an inspiring soundtrack.
VultureHound
Katie Hogan
The most refreshing element of the film, aside from the picturesque landscapes, is definitely the casting of the three leads. Covering Ireland, Wales and Scotland, it shows the talent across the nations.
One Room With A View
Louise Burrell
It's a fairly clichéd and all too familiar plot, but the three lead actors ensure that Moon Dogs avoids mundanity, and manages to create a sweet and funny film.
Alternative Lens
Jennifer Heaton
Strong central performances from the main cast ... but a mostly predictable plot, abandoned story threads and some very shallow supporting characters dampen the experience.
Dog and Wolf
Alexa Dalby
All three actors are natural talents to watch for in future and Moon Dogs is a welcome new twist on the road movie trope.
CineVue
Matthew Anderson
An emotional release from years of suppression is one of few moments that truly hits home in a film which meanders - like the disjointed journey of its characters - a little too uncertainly.
Scotsman
Alistair Harkness
Little more than another dispiriting example of the way so many publicly funded British comedies prize wackiness and winsomeness over characters and plotting that feel in any way believable.
Sunday Times (UK)
Edward Porter
The director, Philip John, knows how to stage a passionate scene and add fuzzy indie folk music, but the storytelling that sets up these moments is horribly mimsy.
Daily Express (UK)
Allan Hunter
Random encounters, narrow escapes and some tough home truths drive a scrappy story that is delivered with considerable charm.
Radio Times
David Parkinson
The youthful leads are eminently engaging, while the eccentric interludes involving body-piercings, hallucinatory puppets and a toy keyboard are dourly amusing.
Indie London
Rob Carnevale
Philip John's Moon Dogs is overly generic and lacking in likeable characters.
The Arts Desk
David Kettle
There's plenty that's downright preposterous, but it's a joy of a movie -- honest, funny and genuinely touching.
HeyUGuys
Daniel Goodwin
Despite the low budget indie feel, Moon Dogs is worth catching at the cinema due to the endearing, bittersweet story and characters, combined with dark and rousing comedy/ drama that's much more stirring than most mainstream efforts.
The Skinny
Josh Slater-Williams
Moon Dogs has some appealing elements - including an impressive Anton Newcombe score - but its lame attempts at humour and general lack of imagination fail to charm.
The List
Nikki Baughan
This potentially intriguing exploration of the sharp angles of brotherhood is diluted into something altogether more generic.
Total Film
Simon Kinnear
The breeziness is scuppered by darker set-pieces of genital injury, while the charmless crisis at the story's heart signals a vein of sour misogyny.
