challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

Although it could have used a thorough editor, the theme of pain and trauma being experienced in isolation is still prevalent and Cujo the St. Bernard deserved a better end.
