Critic Reviews for Buddy

All Critics (23) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (1)

  • After seeing "Buddy," viewers who have dogs at home probably will want to hug them a little tighter, while those who don't might wish they had.

    Cary Darling

    Houston Chronicle

  • In resisting the urge to roll over into the sappy-dog genre, Buddy instead elevates the stories it tells: It's ultimately about love, resilience and lessons we can all take in.

    June 21, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Amberly McAteer

    Globe and Mail

  • "Buddy" doesn't need to be as delicate and intelligent as it is to work, but its thoughtful, unsentimental gaze makes an already guaranteed awww-fest into something more substantially affecting.

    Guy Lodge

    Variety

  • The movie is warm, observant, mildly philosophical and deeply curious about the daily and inner lives of both the people and their four-legged assistants.

    Wesley Morris

    New York Times

  • The film is only concerned with dog love, which is occasionally cordoned off by the filmmakers into a sentimental bubble.

    March 18, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Chuck Bowen

    Slant Magazine

  • A tender tribute to tail-wagging treasures.
