Very difficult to review as it is in a class of its own, quite unlike any other film. I guess I was entranced and involved so in that sense the film worked. Since the character couldn't speak we had to rely on shots of him watching events unfold - often closeups of his face and eyes, and roject our own feelings and judgements about the events onto the donkey.

At other times instead of the character telling us in voice over or dialogue about how he is feeling we see the filmmakers impressions of how the interior world of a donkey might be - these scenes were less satisfying visually although music was used very effectively to convey the emotions that the donkey might be feeling.

A brave attemot to tell a different sort of story in a different way, but difficult to judge if it succeeds.
