PlotThe film is a black comedy or tragicomedy set in Glasgow, Scotland. Cosmo plays an old man called Alfred trying to mend his relationship with his children, daughter Jackie (Kate Dickie) and son Stevie (Martin Compston), with darkly comic results.[2] Production and releaseIt was originally planned as the second part of the Advance Party trilogy inspired by Lars von Trier and the Dogme 95 movement.[2] It followed Andrea Arnold's Red Road, and all the films in the trilogy, produced by Sigma Films and Zentropa, were supposed to feature the same characters and actors. Kate Dickie's character Jackie was the lead playing a CCTV camera-operator in Red Road and is a checkout operator in Donkeys.[3] However the production was difficult, due partly to the illness of original lead actor Andy Armour, who was eventually sacked and replaced by James Cosmo; Armour died of cancer a few months later.[4] It was premiered at the 2010 Edinburgh International Film Festival and opened in October 2010 at Cineworld Renfrew Street in Glasgow.[4] ReceptionThe film's reviews were mixed. The Hollywood Reporter praised its "mordant humour" but found the characters uninteresting.[5] The Scotsman rated it 2/5, complaining that the restrictions of the trilogy brought no benefit to the film, and that it lurched tonally between tragicomedy and tragedy through a series of obvious plot twists.[6] The List gave it a more positive review, scoring it 4/5, and praising it as a black comedy that was tonally quite distinct from Red Road.[7] The Radio Times criticised the direction and screenplay as "slipshod".[8] The Quietus considered that it wasn't as good as Red Road and would confuse audiences expecting a straight sequel, but was "moving, funny and disturbing in parts".[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=British Academy Scotland Awards: Winners in 2011|url=http://www.bafta.org/scotland/awards/ceremony/nominees-winners/british-academy-scotland-awards-winners-in-2011|website=BAFTA|accessdate=7 July 2017}} 2. ^{{cite book|last1=Balkind|first1=Nicola|title=World Film Locations: Glasgow|date=2013|publisher=Intellect Books|page=47|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=XUsqlE-OmOcC&lpg=PA47&ots=yEr46p0cyH&dq=Donkeys%202010%20film&pg=PA47#v=onepage&q=Donkeys%202010%20film&f=false}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Phoenix|first1=Val|title=Loving The Rope: Lars Von Trier's Advance Party Project|url=http://thequietus.com/articles/06308-loving-the-rope-lars-von-trier-s-advance-party-project-red-road-donkeys|website=The Quietus|date=23 May 2011}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=Disasters to Donkeys: how a cursed film shoot came good|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/nov/18/donkeys-development-hell-red-road|work=The Guardian (UK)|date=18 November 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Donkeys -- Film Review|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/donkeys-film-review-29741|website=The Hollywood Reporter|date=14 October 2010}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Film review: Donkeys|url=http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/film-review-donkeys-1-823589|work=The Scotsman|date=7 October 2010}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|title=Review: Donkeys|url=https://film.list.co.uk/article/29876-donkeys/|website=The List}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Donkeys|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/film/cp4w8y/donkeys/|website=Radio Times|accessdate=7 July 2017}} External links
