Baxter

The story here has been done several times before and since this one was made, although arguably not in such a bizarre and intriguing way. The story concerns a bull terrier, Baxter, and his adventures with several different owners: an old lady, a young couple, and a disturbed nazi-obsessed boy. The dog offers commentary on the humans, and life for him in general, and is often thoughtful and at times quite humorous. Probably one of the best films of its type, but one that no one has seen...probably due to its somewhat disturbing subject matter, and the fact that it is a foreign film with subtitled French, however, I would strongly recommend this film as it is quite a viewing experience with several memorable moments and sequences.

I do not know why it took me so long to see this movie, but it is absolutly amazing. This is a movie that I recommend everyone must see. Yes, it is very disturbing, and yes, you may feel disgusted, or even physical ill after seeing it, but it is a great film. Even if subtitles annoy you, take the time and watch this film. 10/10

That incredible voice interpreting Baxter thoughts, this combination of events happening backed by this dark creepy music, all is made to arise curiosity, tension and uneasiness.

Watching this movie is an interesting experience, an original travel into the mind of a pittbull, in which one become stuck to the action and can hardly know what is going to happen next.

Afterwards, trying to get the all point of the story is not easy, which may be the only defect I can see, even though the story by itself is quite entertaining.

Great achievement.

So good to watch this kind of low budget talented movie, after that awfully disappointing Avatar 2.

Baxter is a French movie inspired by Ken Greenhall's Hell Hound novel. Set in Belgian suburbs, it revolves around the relation between a dog called Baxter and his owners – those he calls "the humans". Indeed, this is a dog that thinks and speaks aloud! But, far from being a Scooby Doo or a Beethoven, Baxter's behavior is far more realistic, and beastly. As we soon discover, Baxter is a creature with a strong character and distinct tastes, which will lead the story in unexpected directions.

The narration is structured in an initial prologue followed by three segments, one for each of Baxter's owners. The movie is occasionally humorous, but overall very dark and serious. It explores the beastly spirit found in animals as well as in humans, and the joys and sorrows of a discipline of obedience. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I though this was really good, I loved it

Just don't expect Cujo, this totally different!

As Baxter (the dog) is telling us the story, how he sees and feels about his different owners.

I didn't like the last five minutes, I found that little hard to watch
