This film is sad, with a few comic moments, and one worth watching. You will be left wondering if Lucy will ever get better or whether or not those around her will just keep going along with her illness, knowing at some point that she either will come back or have to be committed to a psych ward. If you are expecting a typical Hollywood happy ending, you will not find it here.
Then we have the family friend, also with issues of his own, a resident psych doctor, with even more issues, and a veterinarian, played by Lisa Kudrow perfectly, as a person who is probably more nuts than Lucy. But if I had a family like that I'd "go" away too.
As the saying goes, The apple does not fall far from the tree.
#Bark terminator 3 full
All the while we get to know the other characters in Lucy's life, especially her own family, who themselves are a bag full of nuts. This, of course causes the husband grief, and we can relate and feel all his frustrations in his fruitless search for help for his wife. So while Lucy is happy being a dog, but still manages to use the toilet and keep herself clean, she cannot or will not come back. I have worked with dogs for most of my life, and she had every nuance down, even to the way a dog takes in its surroundings. This is the premise for Bark, about a woman who just cannot handle even the smallest stressors in her life, and since she works with dogs, thus knows and loves dogs, "disappears" within herself by behaving like one. Unfortunately, some of us, when we do lose it, do not make it back and decide to stay in our safe cocoon, or worse, stay violent. It takes a lot of guts to lay open the fact that most people, including ourselves, have moments where they totally lose it.
