Good Boy

 Good Boy is something truly special, a film built on a fresh idea that doesn’t allow itself to fall into gimmickry. The film centers on Indy (who plays himself) a very good dog who absolutely loves his owner, upon moving into his owner’s late grandfather’s secluded home Indy begins to notice strange figures and bumps in the night, are these supernatural or a way for our canine hero to process a deeper tragedy that beckons on the horizon. Good Boy is a triumph, not just in its experimental approach but in its thoughtful examination of love, companionship and grief told from a 4 legged POV. It helps immensely that first time director/co-writer Ben Leonberg has found the perfect leading man (i mean dog) in his own furry pal Indy who gives one of the best performances of 2025 (human or canine), this dog isn’t just a good boy, he’s a damn movie star, deserving of not only milkbones but golden statues. Good Boy is one of the best films of the year and proof positive that sometimes a man, his dog and a great concept can create something truly magical. Two paws up!!! 

I Give It 5 Stars!!!
