United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"It presents details so small they belong under a microscope, and events so large they belong in science fiction; that these chopped fragments can build to an experience so smooth and significant is only because [Katz's approach]"	POS
United States	Jake Kring-Schreifels The Film Stage	"[Daniel Katz] anchors the movie with a gentle gravity, blending into the painterly landscapes and stark tableaus his sister has crafted"	POS
United States	Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"While 'The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be Quiet' is awash in ideas about the relationship between work and identity (...) Katz never foregrounds these ideas within a coherent narrative"	NEU
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Though it can at times feel wanting in dramatic heft or clarity, The Dog Who Wouldn't Be Quiet can also be revelatory, and its drama flowers in delightfully unflashy ways"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"In its own gentle, unhurried way, does a remarkable thing of encapsulating all human life in just 73 minutes (...) As a film it might lack dramatic oomph, but it builds a world out of small moments that is as beguiling as it is profound (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This film is enigmatic and yet very digestible, deadpan in its comedy and so insouciant and casual in its form, you might almost think that Katz had written it in five minutes, filmed it in a week (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
