2024 | DCP | AUS | D: John Sheedy

Based on Craig Silvey’s children’s novel, Runt finds 11-year-old Annie Shearer (Lily LaTorre) and her family struggling to pay the bills on their outback farm until she discovers her dog has incredible talents that might save the day. It is an appealing Aussie fable featuring Jack Thompson and Deborah Mailman.

‘…this is a very charming, heartwarming film. Throughout the runtime I could feel my mouth forming a big silly grin.’ – The Guardian
