Review of Netherland Dwarf

Besides, it also does not really have the screen time to make that kind of difference. But first things first: "Netherland Dwarf" is an Australian English-language short film from 2008, so this one will have its 10th anniversary next year. The writer and director is David Michôd, who is mostly known for the Oscar-nominated "Animal Kingdom" still and with this film we have here, he somewhat enters the world of animals as well as it is about a boy's relationship with his dad and the impact women and a little pet rabbit my have on it. The child actor did not impress me at all was extremely wooden in his delivery and you could see that he was just reciting stuff he learned earlier, not a good casting decision. No surprise really he hasn't appeared in anything else before or after this film. Grown-up lead actor Ewen Leslie is better, but that's not too difficult though. Overall, the film runs for 16 minutes and this includes a fair amount of closing credits. As a whole, the father-son relationship aspect, which is the center of the film did not make a great difference to me, let alone managed something on the memorable scale. The negligence with losing the rabbit eventually is not helping either in making the characters more likable. And Rabbito Benigni? I am not sure about that. But I am sure that I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
