“For those of you who miss France and who love dogs, we are pleased to present a new rueful comedy about marriage and family, My Dog Stupid — starring the real life couple Charlotte Gainsbourg (daughter of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg) and Yvan Attal (the French-Israeli actor who is also the director), their son Ben Attal, and a Neapolitan mastiff. A wise, moving and unconventional portrait of two people who know each other much too well, My Dog Stupid, is best seen relaxed with a glass (or two) of crisp white wine.” — Laurence Kardish, co-artistic director, FilmColumbia
“There’s something intimate about the film… as if Attal and Gainsbourg were taking aspects of their own relationship and using them to fuel and give dimension to the characters they’re playing.” — Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
“A well-played and melancholic remarriage dramedy.” — Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter
