Story:The story was new to me, as this was the first movie about a guide dog that I’d ever watched. Before I even started, I knew I’d end up crying, and it did not disappoint, lol. There were parts of the movie that I liked and parts that I didn’t.
Let’s start with what I didn’t like. I almost stopped watching after the scene where the dog was left outside in the rain. At that moment, I really wanted to smack the character's head. I also wondered if there were no other people around after they assigned the dog to him. In reality, there should be at least a week of supervision for both the dog and the human. Maybe because it was a movie and they had to fit everything into two hours, but there was no discussion about how to feed Little Q or when to let him out for pee or poop time. It was like the blind man was blindly taking care of his unwanted guide dog! That part felt very unrealistic since these are basic things a trainer must explain to the person taking care of the dog. This was a significant flaw in the portrayal of guide dog training and care.
Now, onto what I did like. I absolutely loved Little Q. He was such a good boy and his acting was spot on, lol! Every scene with Little Q was my favorite, except for the one where he was under a car on a rainy night looking up at his new owner’s window. That was so sad; I’m tearing up just thinking about it.
Acting/cast:
As I mentioned, Little Q's acting was spot on. He was simply great. The main character’s performance was also excellent. There were many times in the first part of the movie when I really wanted to smack him because his acting was so convincing. As they say, you know you’ve done a good job as a villain if the audience hates you for what you did, and I certainly did at first. But when he started to care for Little Q, I also started to like him. He was so relatable when it comes to dogs. He spoils Little Q just like I spoil my dogs.
The rest of the cast also did a good job, especially the little girl. I liked her; she loved Little Q.
Music:
The music was also good. It didn't particularly stand out, but it complemented the scenes well. It enhanced the emotions without being distracting, which is exactly what a good soundtrack should do.
Rewatch Value:
I don’t need to rewatch this movie because its story and some of its scenes will always stay with me. Having just lost a dog, I know that if I rewatch it in the next two or three years, I'll be an emotional wreck.
