Watch Steadfast Stanley For Free

Excellent but underrated film

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

"Steadfast Stanley" is a 4-minute animated short film from 2 years ago. The writer and director is John Cody Kim and it is his only work so far. The story is about the title character, a dog (Welsh Corgi) who witnesses the apocalypse with everybody around him turn into zombies. But what about his owner, a teenage boy? He is on the lookout for him him during the entire film trying to bring him his shoe. That's all there is to this film, with a slightly emotional ending. I would say the film lacks a bit in story-telling, but for a movie under 250 seconds it is okay overall. Time will tell how this one is perceived, it's a decent start for a rookie filmmaker I guess. I would not say this was great, or even particularly good, but it also could have been a lot worse. With the words at the very end, especially dog owners will relate to it I guess. Everybody else can skip it.
