Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe Sheep Detectives is one of those movies that has zero business being as good as it is.
The Sheep Detectives is a perfect example of how good writing, directing, and acting can make any concept, no matter how silly-sounding, come together beautifully.
Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it.
