Darling Companion – Mini Review #2
As a dog lover, movies about dogs always touch a certain part of me. However, Darling Companion did nothing for me as I was confused about director Lawrence Kasdan’s storyline. Diane Keaton plays empty nester Beth who discovers a stray dog alongside a Denver highway one winter morning. The movie skips a year and centers around the day Beth’s husband Joseph (Kevin Kline) loses “Freeway” while on a walk. “Freeway” is only in the movie for about ten minutes so I think it’s fair to say the movie’s title is deceiving. More confusing, perhaps, is the random gypsy psychic Kasdan incorporates in the movie.
