Watching this film almost feels like watching two very different styles of movie, and that's not necessarily a bad thing as both parts are very impressive and genious

The first thing I'd say is if you're not expecting to see animal cruelty or are easily distrubed by that sort of thing do not watch this movie, the film is very heavy handed with it's anti-meat consumption message and if you're not expecting that it'll shake you up as it did to me

The first part of the movie is fairly light hearted and seems to be a typical person and animal become friends, person looses animal, person finds animal story, but at the half way point the film shifts tone completely and becomes quite a graphic anti-animal explotation film

As for the actual quality of the film, it's very impressive and every part of it is designed to envoke a strong emotion, which it pulls of masterfully, the acting on display here is spectacular and the story compelling, so with all things considered if you're fine with how the movie goes from 0 to 11 then I'd absolutley give it a watch

I watched this film after falling in love with Parasite and I have to say although it doesn't compare to Parasite it's still a great film in it's own right and in many ways feels like a spiritual precursor to Parasite, the humor is very similar and the general feel of the film is very similar.

As a whole the plot of this movie is very Parasite-esque as Barking Dogs Don't Bite also has themes of class and a very similar dark subject matter, however Barking Dogs Don't Bite is without a doubt the weaker of the two films in terms of plot, it's plot is much slower and generally less interesting, though it's still okay in it's own right it feels secondary to the characters and comedy, which are both very good

So all in all I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoyed Parasite but it's certainly not the best film ever made
