Man's Best Friend

"The effects of war on the lives and psychological well-being of veterans have been widely addressed in the movies. In the first 'Rambo', a more catastrophic approach, showing the exclusion of a veteran in society, and based on action. In 'Born on July 4th', a paralyzed veteran becomes one of the main activists of the cause. And now, in 'MBF: Man's Best Friend', filmmaker Anthony Hornus ('An Ordinary Killer') brings another story in these molds, only more emotional and tearful. After all, the film addresses the relationship between veterans shaken by treatment with dogs, in a shelter for this purpose. In this mix of dog stories with people shaken by war, there are impactful and melodramatic scenes, forcing the viewer to shed some tears with subplots about abuse, bullying, shelters, lack of empathy and other such things. More emotional and sensitive viewers will surrender without thinking twice. Others, however, may find the message forced. But still, 'MBF: Man's Best Friend' fulfills its function and helps to spread messages about adoption, affection and empathy with others."
