I really enjoyed the animals, the donkey(s) is cute and funny even when it's standing still. I would disagree that it was a great performance though, the animal is quite expressionless, but it's really cute and you quickly root for him.
The cinematography is definitely the strongest point of the movie, as a photographer I really enjoyed the composition of many of the frames throughout the film, and the shallow depth of field on the donkey's close ups gives a very enjoyable cense of closeness to the animal.
Following the donkey's journey through Polish lands though could have been more interesting if there was a better, more solid chain of events on the script. It was really confusing to see the donkey kind of teleporting from place to place and the story introducing and abandoning characters who don't always interact or affect the animal we're rooting for. Not even for the sake of the animal being a mere witness on the land, it didn't really work for me in that way.
There was a lot of randomness in the footage, probably trying to say things, show what the donkey's thinking, but not always made sense to me.
What I really disliked was the ending. I think it's absolutely unnecessary and if the point of it is what I think it is, it's really cheap. I don't want to spoil anything, just to point that I think the movie would be better with a different ending.
