SHEPHERD:
THE STORY OF A JEWISH DOG
“Poetic and fantastical... Writer-director Lynn Roth instinctively knows how to pluck the heartstrings with her heartrending historical drama”
Courtney Howard, Variety
“A family-style adventure drama with an important historical bent.”
Gary Goldstein, LA TIMES
“A clever allegory for when people are treated like animals, and the film adaptation is thrilling when we follow the faithful dog’s journey”
Nore Lee Mandel, Mavens Nest
"It succeeds in walking the tonal high beam without falling into soul-destroying bleakness on one side or a saccharinely fake happy ending on the other. That's no mean feat."
Leslie Felperin, The Guardian
“An unexpected gem... fresh and compelling."
Steve Kopian, UNSEEN FILMS
"If you love history and dogs, you will love this..."
Joy Bennet, Jewish Journal
