Puppy Love

About This Movie

Puppy Love (2018) is a curious blend of expectation versus reality. The opening feels like a light-hearted puppy film, but it quickly strays into darker territory. Joel Tamir's transformation is unsettling yet fascinating, heightening the absurdity as the narrative unfolds. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to digest the bizarre atmosphere that permeates the film. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add an interesting layer to the surreal experience. It’s distinct in its genre-bending; it plays with notions of affection and obsession, leaving you questioning the boundaries of love and companionship. Performances are earnest, adding a strange depth to the absurdity of the premise.

Puppy Love has had limited exposure since its release, often overshadowed by more conventional titles. It exists primarily in DVD format, making it a bit harder to find, especially in good condition. There’s a niche collector interest, particularly among those who appreciate genre-blending films that challenge expectations. Scarcity adds an interesting layer for collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
