- 88Slant MagazinePat BrownSlant MagazinePat BrownThe film draws us through its play toward darker, too-seldom-considered sides of human and doggy nature.
- 83The Film StageLeonardo GoiThe Film StageLeonardo GoiIt’s an exercise in empathy––and a spellbinding one at that.
- 60CineVueJohn BleasdaleCineVueJohn BleasdaleThe alienness of humanity, when seen from another perspective, is evident throughout the film.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeDog-lovers are the obvious target here; but the slow, meditative doc holds appeal for some of the rest of us as well.

- 0The PlaylistWarren CantrellThe PlaylistWarren CantrellLacking any thematic direction or narrative momentum, the film wanders around like so many Muscovite strays on the streets of Russia: aimless yet not exactly lost. A tough sit on top of all this, and lacking anything resembling a coherent point, this one should be shot into space without a return trajectory.
