Bravely updating Bresson with brilliant results, EO is a donkey-driven drama that'll stubbornly stick with you long after the credits roll.

David Stratton

The Australian

Mychal Dymek’s superb cinematography lends distinction to the film and, combined with the director’s strikingly original visual concepts, including some scenes representing the donkey’s eye view, makes for a visually impressive experience.

Rated: 4/5

Paul Byrnes

Sydney Morning Herald

The film, by Polish master Jerzy Skolimowski, is both moving and puzzling, a story about an innocent done in a style that doesn’t always have the same innocence.

Rated: 3.5/5

David Griffiths

Subculture Entertainment

An extremely difficult film to watch at times but one that packs one hell of a punch with its message. Be prepared you will cry but the journey is worth it.

Rated: 3.5/5

Eo is a very special treat for anyone who really cares about how personal, idiosyncratic and unexpected a visit to the cinema can still be.

Rated: 5/5

Farah Cheded

A Good Movie To Watch

[Uses] a fresh, empathetic approach that, even in its obvious dramatic liberties, makes us meditate on both the depth of experience that may be unfolding in our animal neighbors and our role in shaping it.

Andrew L Slow, boring, no plot, no point. Hated it. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Sue Beautiful, heartbreaking movie of a donkeys life. EO goes from one terrible situation to the next, being mistreated and neglected, ending in a line of cattle headed for the slaughterhouse. Many beautiful scenes of Poland. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Nicole R What a powerful film. A fascinating portrayal with parallels between the animal kingdom and human experiences. Difficult to watch at times and sometimes the visual effects are a little dizzying. But EO is a beautiful creature who shows resilience, persistence and humanity in the face of difficult circ*mstances. Captivating story, stunning scenery and a tragic ending. Thoughtful filmmaking so glad I was able to see this film. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Roberta Seeing the world through the eyes of a donkey? What's not to like? EO z ever loses his donkey nature for a Disney fantasy or outcome. He simply experiences the world as it is, where cruelty and beauty love side by side. The cinematography was on point too! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Google Traumatizing. My daughter and I were distraught over the events in the movie and the incredibly sad and disturbing end. I DO NOT recommend this movie if you care for animals. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Julie There is a lot of cruelty to animals depicted in this film. Very dark and upsetting for me. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/28/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
