PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"The longest and most beautiful of the shorts (all dialogue-free), the independently produced “Adam and Dog,” which imagines how man’s best friend fits into the biblical narrative." (Lou Lumenick: New York Post)

----------------------------------------
"A gorgeous effort, with an emphasis on visuals over story." (Peter Hartlaub: San Francisco Chronicle)

----------------------------------------
"Lee captures the unfettered joy of discovery and how that feeling changes and expands when you're no longer alone (...) puts you in a musing museum state of mine." (Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times)

----------------------------------------
"'Adam and Dog' from American animator Minkyu Lee is entirely worthy of its nomination, but it's also the kind of gentle, zen-like short — in the thoughtful tradition of the National Film Board of Canada — that typically gets overshadowed by flashier nominees." (Jeff Shannon: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"A gently stunning work of visual poetry." (Ty Burr: Boston Globe)

----------------------------------------
"Minkyu Lee’s painterly “Adam and Dog” is breathtakingly alert to the ways a dog encounters the natural world." (Kimberley Jones: Austin Chronicle)
