Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight
2024 has been a year rich with a multitude of book-to-film adaptations, including titles such as It Ends with Us, Dune: Part 2, and The Life of Chuck, to name a few successes, . Another adaptation has hit the fall festivals before the year is up, this time by writer/director and actress, Embeth Davidtz. Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and later had its Canadian premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight is a lovely film to lay eyes upon. There is an organic feel to Willie Nel’s tangible cinematography, as he captures both the beauty of the African bush and the unsightliness of Bobo’s dilapidated, ramshackle home with a unique touch. As the film is widely from a child’s point of view, the camera reflects this perspective, flitting around and following after Bobo on her dirt bike, up a tree, or as she dashes under a table with her dogs.
The gritty, layered premise of such a story being told from the perspective of a child is undoubtedly interesting, but the limited viewpoint brings forth questionable narratives. There are a handful of lost plot points, potential setups that dissolve into nothingness, and many an issue or conflict that is simply introduced, only to never be addressed again.
