A Dog Called Money Reviews

Movie Reviews

• while the talent and ambition behind the duo's collaboration is hard to fault, "A Dog Called Money" is a freewheeling visual collage which unearths little of substance from a potentially fascinating mass of material

  by Stephen Dalton [The Hollywood Reporter ]

• the singer's visit to war zones and refugee camps for musical inspiration feels ill-judged; the project was well-intentioned, but the editing feels glib; The result is an ill-judged film in which suffering becomes scenery

  by Wendy Ide [The Observer ]

• surprisingly sophomoric and one-paced, this music doc is an experiment that doesn't come off; If you've ever wondered what the boredom threshold is for watching a musician tuning a hurdy-gurdy, you'll find the answer here

  by Phil De Semlyen [Time Out New York ]

• it's fascinating to see the creative process laid bare in such a way, and the film confirms Harvey's position as a vital and relevant artist who thrives through collaboration and experimentation

  by Jamie Healy [Radio Times ]

• a disappointingly uninsightful documentary about the making of PJ Harvey's 2016 album The Hope Six Demolition Project; the film's political engagement is oddly wishy-washy, while fans hungry for intimate access to the singer will leave frustrated

  by Cath Clarke [The Guardian ]

• "A Dog Called Money" captures turbulent moments in time through creative reportage but it can feel a little arm's-length; as a portrait of global catastrophe and oppressive capitalism, it really needed to dig deeper

  by Katherine McLaughlin [The List Film (UK) ]
