This man-meets-dog story doesn’t quite understand the dog half of the equation
It’s hard to know what, exactly, the creative impetus is for Arthur The King. One would think it’s obvious, given how the marketing has placed Arthur the dog front and center. The film is named after the dog. The memoir upon which the film is based is about the transformative meeting with this dog. It seems clear that this should be a story about a dog! So it’s baffling to realize that the dog is almost an afterthought.
The film seems to recognize this is a flaw for a titular inciting incident, so the front half is littered with cross-cutting shots of the dog in a homeless struggle, as if playing to an audience of Homers desperately asking “Where’s Poochie?” But even when Arthur does unite with the racers and save them from wandering off a cliff in the middle of the night, any focus on the dog feels token at best, as if the film begrudgingly laments its entire reason to exist.
