The world is a mysterious place when seen through the eyes of an animal. EO, a grey donkey with melancholic eyes, meets good and bad people on his life’s path, experiences joy and pain, endures the wheel of fortune randomly turn his luck into disaster and his despair into unexpected bliss. But not even for a moment does he lose his innocence.
No animals were harmed in the making of this film.
Bravely updating Bresson with brilliant results, EO is a donkey-driven drama that’ll stubbornly stick with you long after the credits roll.
Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus
Pure, tender cinema is rare nowadays, but EO delivers.
Austin Chronicle
This is Balthazar as EDM remix. A punkish act of both resurrection and necromancy, EO captures the very alienating and restless pace of life at this moment in time.
