PICK OF THE LITTER
Posted in COMING SOON
OPENS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28

Documentary – 2018 – USA – 81 Minutes – IFC Films – Unrated

PICK OF THE LITTER follows a litter of puppies from the moment they’re born and begin their quest to become guide dogs for the blind. Cameras follow these pups through an intense two-year odyssey as they train to become dogs whose ultimate responsibility is to protect their blind partners from harm. Along the way, these remarkable animals rely on a community of dedicated individuals who train them to do amazing, life-changing things in the service of their human. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Only the best of the best. The pick of the litter.

Directed by Dana Nachman & Don Hardy Jr.

Pick of the Litter is much more than a puppy parade, educating viewers about what it takes, practically and psychologically, to train a service animal. The wet noses and wagging tails are just a perk. – Slate

Doggie cuteness and the inherent emotional pull of canine-human companionship wins in the end. Subject matter alone makes Pick of the Litter a gently lovable outing. – The Wrap

Pick of the Litter affirms the obvious: the world is a much better place with dogs in it. – RogerEbert.com

Bans on talking in movie theaters should be briefly lifted for anyone who can’t resist shouting “Go, Poppet!” on test days. Which should be almost everyone. – New York Times
