    Peter Dinklage in a leading role. That's all you need to know.

    Heartwarming and quiet. The trailer would have you believe that this is about Peter Dinklage's character struggling with the bigotry of heightism. But it's far more subtle than that. It is a quiet movie about someone withdrawn from life and about the relationships that they make. The casting is phenomenal, with Peter shining as the lead, obviously. The pacing is great. It is a lovely movie, and I recommend it happily.

A Dog Year

Jon Katz is close to burnout. He's a writer with writer's block; his wife has left for her sister's because he's emotionally distant; he rarely answers his phone. A kennel sends him a border collie that's undisciplined because of abuse. Despite a series of mishaps, Jon decides to keep trying with the dog, and he rents a dilapidated farm house to give the dog room to run. A local handyman refers Jon to a woman who might be able to help him train the dog. Reluctantly, Jon gives her a try. Is the dog the problem, or the owner?
