Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Black Eyed Dog is a Canadian drama film, directed by Pierre Gang and released in 2006. The film stars Sonya Salomaa as Betty, a waitress in the small Miramichi-area town of Riverton, New Brunswick, who is going through a personal crisis around her failed dreams of becoming a singer, amid the context of a serial killer terrorizing the area. The cast also includes James Hyndman, David Boutin, Brendan Fletcher, Anne-Marie Cadieux, Fred Ewanuick, Nadia Litz, Gabriel Gascon, Vlasta Vrana, Charlie Rhindress, Marguerite McNeil and Bronwen Mantel in supporting roles. The film premiered on August 5, 2006, at the Locarno Film Festival, and had its Canadian premiere on August 26 at the Montreal World Film Festival. Jason Anderson of The Globe and Mail wrote that the film was essentially a pale imitation of a David Adams Richards novel, faring especially poorly in comparison to the 2002 film adaptation of The Bay of Love and Sorrows. François Laplante received two Jutra Award nominations at the 9th Jutra Awards in 2007, for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
