Bark

A mother takes her minivan through an automatic car wash, drives home, scoops up the mail, pulls into the garage and kills herself. She leaves behind a husband (Dad), a daughter away at college (Riley), a set of teenage twins (Caitrin and Eli), and a dog (Leadbelly). Eli (Eli Rubenstein)-- by all accounts a normal teenage boy -- just wants everything to go back to normal. When the family dog goes missing (and nobody else in the family seems to care) he searches for her because somebody in this family has to try to hold this all together damnit. Caitrin (Caitrin Gallagher) did everything first. She was born first. She got her license first. She found out about her dead mom first. She's sick of it. If adulthood is as full of lying and loneliness as it seems, Caitrin wants nothing to do with it. Riley (Annie Brennen), the ambitious aspiring actress, never planned on returning to the suburbs except for a quaint Christmas every couple of years between film shoots. Little did she know her dad would ask her to move back home to fill in for Mom. She's thinking about taking up yoga. Among the whitewashed fences, mailboxes, and manicured lawns, a despondent family deals with the drudgery of grief and their growing detachment to each other-- all through the eyes of their depressed dog, Leadbelly.

I really enjoyed this movie! I probably enjoyed the movie more than some, because I can relate to Maggie Nilles character... It's a light feel good movie. One of Eli Rubenstein best!

It was a very nice movie. Just try to have fun and you will enjoy it.

My life is forever changed due to this movie.

I'm not a big movie goer, but I had huge expectations for this one, and I was absolutely blown away by the beauty and magic and absolute fantastic storytelling in this movie.

Anna Nilles story is brought to the screen with great elegance and excitement.

There is no denying that this is a very good movie. The acting is great and it tells a good story.

This was one of those rare movies that kept my attention. The scenes where amazing, acting was spot on. Annie Brennen was the best thing about this film! I'd get it 11 stars if I could.

Caitrin Gallagher plays the movie pretty well. This movie is worth the watch.

U just can't simply predict whats up next. Believe me, U can't! This movie delivers much more than i expected and i expected a lot.

This movie was actually quite good. I will watch it again in the near future to admire all the details.
