This was my first Fantasia Film Festival screener and guys, I feel a little like I’ve had my dessert before dinner. Sheep Without a Shepherd is one of those movies that is so lovingly crafted that anything I’d say against it feels like I’m splitting hairs. With confident and competent shooting, solid performances, and a plot that’s entertaining without being overly complex, it’s just a really enjoyable film overall.
