Stray Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
A kind of companion to Kedi, that 2016 documentary about Istanbul's street cats, Elizabeth Lo's film is a tender look into the lives of some of the city's free-roaming dogs.
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
It's meant to be an immersive experience, an effort to put us as viewers not just behind the eyes of a dog, but also in its mind. It succeeds beautifully.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... evolves into a uniquely compassionate look at coexistence and belonging through the eyes of outsiders. It resonates regardless of species.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
A film-going experience that we, action-hungry Americans, are not used to. It's slow and plodding but says a lot about the human experience-an experience the majority of us will never admit we've experienced.
Next Best Picture
Bianca Garner
A fascinating insight into the world of man's best friend with sweeping stunning cinematography.
NME (New Musical Express)
Paul M. Bradshaw
The doc is a must-watch for mutt-lovers.
Movies on Weekends
Alistair Ryder
If you're a dog lover, you'll find much to admire with Stray, but the quietly powerful social commentary makes it of interest to more than just your average pet owner.
The Spool
B.L. Panther
Though the footage at first feels mundane, like any good boy video you might see on Facebook, we very quickly sense that Lo is after something deeper.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
Other recent dog-centric films benefit from better focus...fortunately, no animals come to harm during Stray, which can't be said for the other films mentioned...
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
People who've seen director Ceyda Torun's documentary Kedi (about stray cats in Istanbul) can view director Elizabeth Lo's documentary Stray (about stray dogs in Istanbul) as a great companion piece ... Stray is a more heart-wrenching movie than Kedi.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
It's almost like a mirage of a documentary... It's really about the problems that the [Turkish government] doesn't want to talk about.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Like its subjects, the film meanders with seeming randomness and with no voiceover narration or other verbal guides, only the passing, elliptical comments of some humans.
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
Lo's humane film helps us glimpse the lives of those who are often overlooked, whether they walk the streets of Istanbul on four legs or two.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Filmmaker Elizabeth Lo's new documentary Stray follows the stray dogs roaming the streets of Istanbul-and the Syrian migrants they cross paths with.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Zeytin commands the camera as well as she does the alleys and gutters of her native city, becoming a tour guide through Lo's story.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Although Stray is a tonic for dog lovers, it also speaks to something greater than just the humane treatment of its animals.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Lo wants to make a point, obviously, but I came out of this picture with some questions.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
As simple as its title and as complex as the city it briefly illuminates...
Variety
Tomris Laffly
Lo inspects both the faultlines and fringes of the Turkish society and ponders profound philosophical questions concerning humanity.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A howling success.
