Every Dog Has Its Day is a curious blend of comedy and drama that captures the ebb and flow of human connection. The film dives into the life of Old Lin, whose mundane existence is shaken up by the arrival of Ma Teng, a character who brings a chaotic energy with his quirky 'useless knowledge.' The pacing is a bit languid at times, which I think reflects Lin's own life, but it allows the moments of genuine connection to shine through. The practical effects are understated, lending an authenticity to the characters' interactions. Performances are sincere; you really feel Lin's weariness contrasted with Ma's relentless curiosity. It’s distinctive in how it portrays loneliness and the unexpected friendships that can emerge from it.
