The Dog Stars misses lift in Ridley Scott's post-apocalyptic drama

Euronews Culture’s Film of the Week verdict labels Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars slow and derivative, failing to convincingly blend introspection with action. Despite Erik Messerschmidt’s striking cinematography and Josh Brolin’s memorable goatee, Jacob Elordi’s Hig can’t anchor an underdeveloped story, leaving the post-apocalyptic tale uneventful and lacking in depth. The film is currently in cinemas.
