Down Dog

About This Movie

So, 'Down Dog' is one of those TV movies that really tries to capture the essence of LA's yoga scene, you know? The lead, this charming yoga instructor, breezes through life until a breakup with his girlfriend, who's also his business partner, flips his world upside down. There’s this biting satire that runs through it, poking fun at the superficiality of the culture while also hitting some deeper notes about self-discovery. It has a laid-back pacing, which feels right for the subject matter, but every now and then, it hits you with a moment that just lingers. The performances are pretty solid, keeping it light yet reflective, and the practical effects—if you can call them that—are mostly just the setting and the yoga scenes, which have this chill vibe that feels authentic. It's worth discussing for sure, even if it's not something everyone will remember.
