A savage but elegant, different, fresh comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2020

Goldthwait's mission from the get-go seems to be a slyly subversive excursion to the underbelly of human erotic attachments...

| May 19, 2020

suffice to say Sleeping Dogs is a comedy of rather questionable taste.

| Aug 23, 2017

Don't be put off by its offbeat credentials, because this is a warm-hearted and hilarious dissection of relationships, and how honesty isn't necessarily always the best policy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2012

Leaves us with the less than satisfying disturbing message it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 30, 2009

Anchored, and essentially redeemed, by a fearless performance from Melinda Page Hamilton.

| Original Score: 50/100 | Feb 15, 2009

...ultimately an emotionally affecting and thoroughly accomplished piece of work...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 28, 2008

Bobcat Goldthwait has produced a flm that understands something about the gulf between what men claim they want from women, and the way they behave when we give it to them.

| Feb 1, 2008

I liked the film but thought the bestiality theme held it back. A lot of people won't want to see the movie.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 4, 2007

An evenly paced, gently acted and subdued black comedy with a subversive moral at its heart.

| Mar 16, 2007

Had me howling with laughter.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 16, 2007

Hamilton is wonderful as the bruised victim of an oedipal insanity for truth.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2007

This low-budget comedy-drama may not have the glossiest of coats, but nor is it the dog you might be expecting.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 16, 2007

Despite its vomit-inducing revelation, this is a surprisingly sweet romcom with a strong comic performance by Hamilton and some thought-provoking things to say about relationships.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2007

A bestiality rom-com with unexpected charm. Not quite the dog's bollocks, but certainly no dog's dinner either.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2007

Despite being thin on laughs and light on conventional romance, Sleeping Dogs manages to be both warm and witty.

Full Review | Mar 16, 2007

You can rely on Goldthwaite to demolish sentimental notions with the power of a force ten gale, but clumsy filmmaking seriously hampers his idea's own effectiveness, resulting in a rather plodding black comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 13, 2007

There's an ingratiatingly quirky spirit which keeps bubbling up in Sleeping Dogs Lie and merrily propels it along

| Mar 1, 2007

I can't think of another film that so directly and actively tackles the question of the actual value of honesty.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 10, 2007

This shabbily shot comedy about the limits of being truthful is essentially a one-joke premise that spirals into an uncomfortable series of situations.
