EO is a thrillingly surreal odyssey that shows the best and worst of mankind in unpredictable fashion whilst always emphasising the beauty of nature. There's so many genuine moments of warmth which only make the darker moments all the more devastating. It's such a unique experience.

The several Donkeys that play EO give a phenomenal performance. The amount of emotion in their eyes is unrivalled and the cries of anguish are equally powerful. EO is supported by some great performances from Sandra Dryzmalska, Isabelle Hupert and Lorenzo Zurzolo in particular.

Jerzy Skolimowski crafts a real technical marvel. Along with Michal Dymek's varied cinematography it swaps between some top tier drone shots, a gorgeous use of colour (especially red) and plenty of Donkey's-eye view shots. Pawel Mykietyn's score adds further beauty to the gorgeous imagery.
