Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (LAist) A really interesting "daily life" type of film where, over the course of it, you see Oleg and his friends shaped by internal stress. Sep 13, 2019 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal Childhood during wartime is hardly a new subject for filmmakers of any stripe, but The Distant Barking of Dogs finds its own special nonfiction space. Aug 1, 2019 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Lereng Wilmont's subjects earn their stray moments of rustic poetry; so does his film. Dec 31, 2018 Full Review Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa [Simon Lereng Wilmont] has crafted a beautiful, poetic observational documentary. Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Matt Cipolla The Spool There's a constant sense of decay here that exists not in what we see but what's missing: the empty rooms, the barren fields, the pieces of a family that feel left of center. Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Phil Guie Film-Forward.com Director Simon Lereng Wilmont offers an intimate view, in which the mundane and terrible often co-exist uneasily.
