George Hardy is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can't possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.
"The whodunit element of the story feels like something of an afterthought, though Nicholas Braun as a pratfalling Clouseau-like local inspector who’s massively out of his depth is a nice touch."
— David Jenkins
"The reason the sheep are capable of conveying emotionally resonant experiences is because there’s a tangibility to them onscreen that’s not just about design but to how well they fit within the movie’s slightly heightened reality."
— Alison Willmore
