"An emotional, funny, and unexpectedly fascinating documentary ... thoughtful, funny, strange, and surprisingly heartfelt. “Iowa Vet: Dogs, Cats, Corn, & Murder” finds beauty in ordinary lives shaped by extraordinary circumstances. It is a story about reinvention. About love arriving unexpectedly. About how industries, communities, and people evolve over time. And perhaps most importantly, it is about the idea that every life contains stories worth telling if someone takes the time to truly listen.
