Down Dog is a comedy-drama film that was released in the year 2014. The film revolves around a character named Logan who is a successful but unfulfilled yoga instructor. Logan is portrayed by Jason Durr who effectively brings out the personality of a man who is not satisfied with his life, even though he has everything going for him. Logan's love interest, Natasha, is played by Orla O'Rourke. She is a member of the yoga class that Logan teaches and is going through her own personal struggles.

The film starts with Logan, who is a womanizer, being confronted by his ex-girlfriend. She tells him that she is pregnant with his child and that she is marrying someone else. Logan is taken aback, and his reaction is very genuine. He starts to question his life choices and realizes that he has been living a meaningless life.

Logan decides to take up a new class called 'Teaching Yoga to the Homeless' to help him find a new perspective on life. It is there that he meets a homeless man named Bill, played by Nick Moran, who becomes his unlikely mentor. Moran's performance is subtle yet effective as he plays the character of a man who has lost everything and yet still manages to find joy in small things.

Logan starts to see the beauty in the simple things in life and starts to understand that happiness cannot be found in material possessions. As he continues to teach yoga to the homeless, he realizes that he has discovered a new sense of purpose, and he starts to connect with the people he teaches.

The film's supporting cast includes a group of homeless individuals who Logan meets during his classes. They all have their own stories to tell and are an integral part of the film's overall message. The characters are well-developed and add depth to the story.

The film also explores themes of addiction, love, and redemption. Each character has their own vices that they struggle with, be it Logan's womanizing, Bill's alcoholism, or Natasha's issues with her past. The film manages to address these issues without being preachy, and it all feels very organic.

The cinematography of the film is also worth mentioning. The shots of London are beautiful and help to create a sense of place, which is important for a film that is so focused on the people who inhabit the city. The music is also effective in setting the tone of the film.

Overall, Down Dog is an enjoyable film that manages to explore some meaningful themes without ever feeling heavy-handed. The performances are all strong, and the characters are well-developed. It is a film that will make you laugh, make you cry, and ultimately leave you feeling uplifted.

Down Dog is a 2014 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 37 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0.
