This review was originally published out of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
“Eo” doesn’t have a plot, little dialogue and, oh, the protagonist is a depressed donkey that wishes he was a horse, but this weird little movie is irresistible. Sure, its lead is a donkey, but it is as human as it gets. Constructed from our hero donkey’s journey away and back again, “Eo” meditates on loneliness, human nature, and empathy.
Full review coming soon.
