The synopsis for A Dog's Will has my attention. Is it best to go in knowing very little?

aoife_obrien · 31 Oct 2026, 05:08 UTC

Caoimhe, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

A Dog's Will is one I am weighing up. A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.

Roisin, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

For anyone considering A Dog's Will: The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.
