Loved this. Love to see an indie comedy that's actually committed to being funny.
People will jokingly laud the donkey's performance, but don't be fooled. Atrocious acting by the donkey. At no point did I buy that this donkey, a real living donkey, was excited to watch a soccer game. This donkey does not have dreams. It doesn't have pride, jealous of the pampered show horses. You can show me horses running free and then cut to a close-up of a donkey's eyeball, but all I see is a pack animal forced in front…
The most hyped film of all time and it somehow lives up to it all. Just hitting home runs on every level technically, and a freewheeling script that somehow remains grounded, twisting and turning through elegant flourishes without losing sight of its deeper, soulful mission. Puts every American blockbuster to shame.
I'm surprised how many people still haven't heard of this film, given all the pandemonium, but I expect that will change in time. I can't think of another movie more deserving of continual theatrical re-releases.
