Reception
Jonathan Holland of Variety, deemed Doghead to be a "revitalizing, winsomely idiosyncratic" film, with the result of Amodeo's craft being "a visually striking, deceptively subtle item that revels in its unconventionality".[3]
Javier Ocaña of El País, considered that the film possesses "a very special magic and a strange poetry", blending in "a modern visualization and a script between the profound and the candorous".[1]
