Hangdog (2023)

Hangdog (2023). Hangdog: Directed by Matt Cascella. With Catherine Curtin, Desmin Borges, Steve Coulter, Kelly O'Sullivan. Anxiety-ridden Walt embarks on a desperate quest through Portland, Maine to retrieve his stolen dog before his girlfriend returns from a business trip, or risk losing them both.

“This film does a great job of meshing comedy with drama, anxiety with relief. Even when you think everythingu0026#39;s going to be okay, it isnu0026#39;t. Itu0026#39;s a film that isnu0026#39;t afraid to live in the nebulous gray areas of life, while reminding us that we can and should laugh when things are looking bleak. The highlights for me were each of the exciting characters that Walt meets along the way as he unravels a mystery that could destroy his relationship. Desmin Borges is spot on as the anxiety-ridden lead whou0026#39;s struggling as a Portland, Maine fish-out-of-water New Yorker. Special shout-outs to Barbara Rosenblatu0026#39;s laugh-out-loud one liners and Steve Coulteru0026#39;s rambunctious and emotionally moving performance. Itu0026#39;s an equally touching and hilarious small-scale odyssey that we just donu0026#39;t see enough of these days. Really excited to see what husband/wife team Matt Cascella and Jen Cordery cook up for us next.”
