Worth the watch
fannynoai7 March 2019
Seen on Amazon Prime last night. Odd film. Mysterious at the beginning, you don't exactly know in which direction the plot takes you. It's about an unfortunate, beaten woman, the victim of a violent so-called lover. When a Frenchman crosses her path love blossoms really easily and the two hit the road for a passion filled ride. The title of the film is the name of another mysterious character in the film, a pit-bull that till the end you don't know how dangerous it really is. Worth the watch!

Amazing
dilorenzomirko7 March 2019
A minimalistic, sun scorched road movie. The actors work really well especially Angela Neiman that plays Rosa, the protagonist. She's a tough, hardened woman that has suffered a great deal and now she doesn't want to feel nothing. The Southern Italy's locations are great, the places look a lot like Mexico and give the film a sort of spaghetti western tonality. A true original!

Tough Italian crime film
joannabock-905538 March 2019
Xolo is the story of a woman and a dog. The dog is a fighting beast that people think it's a dangerous animal but it is not at all. That's it, in this film nothing seems what it looks like at first sight. It's stated that is a true story and if it's true is incredible. Is a tough and violent film, unjust, so be aware.

WOW!

WoooooW! Great film, really!!! The story is strong and touching, the actors are amazing (Rosa and Nathaniel are perfect in their roles), the landscape is a character itself, almost a protagonist of this tough and thrilling film. I love romantic dramas and i can say that i love this film. I suggest to seek this film! Congratulations to the authors! Alex

What's the point of making a pointless movie?
MovieIQTest21 March 2019
This simple-minded even mindless movie really made me wonder why people would waste money and time to approve a screenplay with such pointless one-directional, also so predictable boring movie, and how and why reviewers before me would give "Amazing, WOW..." comments on this completely meaningless movie? To show off they got deeper understanding of such kind of movie something so special out of NOTHING?

A woman slave (how come?), a heartless boss and farm owner, a French drifter in the Spain countryside, picking tomatoes, trying to lure that woman working in the gas station owned by that guy who collected a wandering dog on the highway and claimed that he spent a lot of money on buying that dog? What's the relation between the boss and the young woman? Why this young woman would have to stay with this guy? Was there any logic triangle sexual or romantic relationship among these three people? There's nothing actually told by this hollow movie except couple of love-making or abusive sexual scenes to quench the porn-loving viewers' some sexual desires, allowing them to watch her not-so-big tits, nipples, big areolas and no underwear; so you called these and the love-making scenes "Amazing"? What about that dog? What it got anything to do with anything in this brainless movie?

A suggestion on your daily landscape
visocasmt24 March 2019
That movie is an exciting rethinking of the classic wester film, what strikes me is how some places that are usually familiar, can suddenly become unknown and new. The film investigates the limits of love and complicity that often become deceit and opportunism. Love also often coincides with hatred, they are two feelings that walk together, and this film reveals it in a very well thought out way. Giuseppe Valentino has a wonderful touch, and all the team was great. I really loved the main figures in love. well done
