The Year of the Dog

Watch Now on Amazon Prime

Matt, a loner alcoholic at rock bottom, struggles to maintain sobriety for 30 days so he can honor his mother’s dying wish, to visit her in hospice, sober. His book-thumping AA sponsor, Fred, offers him refuge at his farm, where Matt finds Yup’ik, a stray Husky with a unique talent. The man and dog relationship is precarious at first, but with the help of a close-knit Montana community, the two strays find a connection and discover what it takes to pull through to the finish line.

Reviews

"There's a lot to love about this movie - maybe my favorite thing is that it explores male vulnerability with other men, which is something we rarely see in the movies. I believe that's something we all benefit from witnessing. The importance of our connection with the ones we love when we're struggling and suffering. It's a very meaningful look at the struggle of living with addiction and working to get sober and will resonate so strongly with anyone who has struggled with or knows someone who has struggled with addiction. Go see it!!!!"

"The script is very well written. Absolutely loved the little surprise twists and the poetry part. Matt transmitted a powerful emotional rollercoaster that comes along with addiction. The landscape is gorgeous, the dog is adorable, and I can honestly say I learned my bit about dog competitions in the snow. So many facets to enjoy the movie (including the score) - I want to say every year can be the year of the dog! During the opening in New York, I learned that the movie supported dog shelters through donations across the country - another way to truly make it the year of the dog."

"Check out this small movie that plays big with your heart strings in a really good way. An underdog story about two of societies cast offs who help each other succeed. Beautiful scenery with a huge Montana backdrop. Created by locals of the shooting locations, it doesn't get much better than this. The directing, writing and acting are all solid and the story is well told. Really draws you in and gets you rooting for both troubled souls. The year of the dog uses a little known dog training discipline to great effect, presenting something rarely seen on screen. If you're looking for a solid drama set in a stunning location, check this movie out."
