Besides being full of beautiful images, 'Alpha' is, in equal parts, an epic survival adventure in a cruel world and a story of friendship with a great touch of canine charisma. You cannot miss it, much less if you are a lover of man's best friend.

Movies with touching stories about the relationship between humans and their pets have become a subgenre in itself. However, 'The Art of Racing in the Rain' adds some differentials to the formula, portraying the love between race car driver Denny (Milo Ventimiglia, from 'This is Us') and golden retriever Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner). For fans of motorsport, there are several references - including images of Ayrton Senna's show on the wet track of the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, revealing the "art of racing in the rain" that is in the original title of the work. For those who love pets, no explanation is needed for all the cuteness and love that exists in the feature film, which will make you cry in several moments. Now, if you like both things, this movie was made for you. Oh, the critics didn't like it much, saying the story was predictable and full of melodrama, but the audience loved it - which is, in the end, what matters most.
