    Write/Director Sophie Dia Pegrum has an unusual story-telling

    style and a visual style of great imagination. This story of a

    reclusive astronomer who is brought out of his shell by an

    unexpected visitor is both real and other-worldly. The esemble of

    actors are diamonds-in-the-rough but their rough edges are

    balanced by their honesty and commitment to the actions that Ms.

    Pegrum wrote for them to play. The pace of Dogstar is different

    from most American films. This may have something to do with the

    fact that Ms. Pegrum is British and, like many non-American

    directors and writers, does not assume her audience has the

    attention-span of a toddler. I enjoyed this film and reccomend for

    anyone looking for something different.
