Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

EffettoKirlian Baxter is a French movie inspired by Ken Greenhall's Hell Hound novel. Set in Belgian suburbs, it revolves around the relation between a dog called Baxter and his owners – those he calls "the humans". Indeed, this is a dog that thinks and speaks aloud! But, far from being a Scooby Doo or a Beethoven, Baxter's behavior is far more realistic, and beastly. As we soon discover, Baxter is a creature with a strong character and distinct tastes, which will lead the story in unexpected directions.The narration is structured in an initial prologue followed by three segments, one for each of Baxter's owners. The movie is occasionally humorous, but overall very dark and serious. It explores the beastly spirit found in animals as well as in humans, and the joys and sorrows of a discipline of obedience. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

paclar To start, the young boy in "Baxter" gives a highly credible, palpably evil performance as the young, Nazi-obsessed boy who comes to own this very strange pitbull suffering from existential dilemmas. The movie is also helped by the sense of dread hanging over every scene with the dog. If you've been trained to be wary of pitbulls, this movie will freak you out.The whole thing adds up, however, to little more than an exercise in morbidity. While it accomplishes that goal very smoothly, there isn't much else to recommend "Baxter." The rest of the characters aren't very well fleshed-out, and the dog's endless yammering is laughable.4/10.

Mitch-38 Odd, darkly humorous and unsettling tale of a dog, his thought process and his owners. Baxter senses their fear, their insecurities, as well as his own. How he acts or chooses to react, is unpredictable, and therein lies the entertaining side of this movie. Surely, this dog is not a lovable pooch, as his thoughts are downright wicked at times. Yet, sides of his tortured nature arise, bringing an emotional balance. Certainly, a very thought provoking movie, to say the least.

Patricio Even tho' I don´t like French movies, "Baxter" amazed me. The little bull-terrier dog looking forward killing or not (revealing the thoughts that pass through its mind). The scary young boy with an angel face who shows a growing dark side. Their disturbing friendship. These things make the plot very attractive and original. By the way: the final scenes are to be remembered. I give this title a 7.5 out of 10.
