March Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss10 of 22
Stray | Premieres on Video on Demand on Friday, March 5
Plot: Elizabeth Lo’s documentary following three stray dogs — Zeytin, Kartal, and Nazar — and their day to day lives as part of Turkish society.
Our Take: Stray feels like a mixtape you'd pass around with your friends. The documentary has been positioned as the littermate to the award-winning, cat-centric Kedi, with a similar observational style that tracks Zeytin and his pals as they fit into a society that has outlawed the euthanization of strays. As the story broadens, it takes on more acute sociopolitical angles, as the dogs form a pack with a group of young Syrian refugees who also live on the streets. It's narrator-free, meditative stuff. — Arno
