STRAY – Review by Kristen Page-Kirby

Cats: The humans give me food, shelter, and love. I must be god. Dogs: The humans give me food, shelter, and love. They must be god. That’s one of the main differences between Stray and 2016’s feline-focused Kedi, to which it will be inevitably compared. Both documentaries follow their respective stray animals through the streets of Istanbul, looking at their unique places in the Turkish life.
