🐾 Arya's Approval – Chief Drama Officer

"Right, this British drama is serious stuff. I understand pack dynamics and fighting for position, but this film shows the dark side of institutional power that makes me uncomfortable.

Ray Winstone's performance is raw and powerful – you can see why this launched his career. As someone who's experienced rescue situations, I respect stories that expose harsh realities, even when they're difficult to watch.

This gets my paw of approval for brave filmmaking, important social commentary, and British cinema that doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths."
