There's not much variation on the old themes here. What's new is the film's definition of community and family. Feb 27, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Cameron's tale grossly oversimplifies complex issues... to the point that it reduces much of the film's social justice message to meme-ready, empty-headed pap. Jan 14, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

When the story lags, these are the flaws that pester, and even the cute factor of "A Dog's Way Home" can't obscure its narrative weaknesses. Jan 11, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A Dog's Way Home has a bit too much filler thrown in to pad out the runtime, and the segments at home feel very detached from the dog's journey back home, but it's a cute and heartwarming story that any dog lover will enjoy. Aug 17, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Perhaps too intense for younger audiences, but at least you get to watch a cute dog run around for two hours. Mar 20, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

What sets A Dog's Way Home above the pack of most animal movies is that while the film is perfectly suitable for children, it's actually an adult movie...the emotional highs of the film have been designed more for grown-ups [than kids}. Mar 15, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

It touches on ongoing problems in modern society such as homelessness and the postwar physical and psychological suffering of soldiers, and on the growing use of animal-based therapy. Mar 1, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
