Barking

About This Movie

Barking is this quiet, introspective drama that dives into the aftermath of a couple's breakup, but it's not just about the split—it’s really about the dog they share, acting as this emotional tether. The pacing feels deliberate, giving you time to sit with the characters’ pain and awkwardness as they navigate their new reality. The performances are raw and genuine, capturing that chaotic mix of love and resentment. It’s distinctive for its focus on the everyday challenges of co-parenting a pet, which often leads to some surprisingly poignant moments. The atmosphere is heavy yet relatable, almost like you’re peeking into the lives of these people, feeling their struggle and growth unfold in real time.
