Going to the Dogs

About This Movie

So, 'Going to the Dogs' is quite the curiosity. It's a TV movie that dives into the behind-the-scenes of Wim T. Schippers' theater piece featuring six Alsations. Think about it—dogs performing in a theatrical setting is pretty unusual. The atmosphere feels experimental yet playful, and there's this sense of spontaneity that comes through, which is quite refreshing. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which adds to the charm, I suppose. The performances, especially from the dogs, bring a certain authenticity that’s hard to replicate. It's not your typical TV fare, and that’s what makes it stand out—there’s a rawness to it that invites you to keep watching, even if you’re not sure what to expect next.
