Although it's hard to buy the animated Buck, the human performances save it, proving that even the most realistic technology will never replace the real thing on screen. February 20, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Ford has snared another grumpy old man role of the kind he seems to have been hankering after since glumly seducing audiences as Han Solo all those years ago. And he does it well. February 19, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The essence of the London story is retained, with stouthearted Buck being annealed by adversity, overcoming brutality, confusion and loneliness and then responding to the kindness of Thornton to become the leader of the pack. February 19, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Ford exhibits so much feeling here that he transports us back to his work in earlier films like "Witness" and "The Fugitive"; back to when you could make a case for him as a great actor and not just a movie star, or Chewie's cranky companion. February 19, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

There is something seriously wrong with an adaptation of a classic novel when, an hour into the film, you can't tell what the story is actually about. February 17, 2020 | Full Review…

In an age of children's entertainment that's snarky, self-referential and even meta, "The Call of the Wild"... stands out for its earnest effort to entertain without commenting on itself or the modern world. February 17, 2020 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Harrison Ford offers a surprisingly pleasant performance, but the excess of CGI is too distracting, preventing the film of being a better adaptation. [Full review in Spanish] February 20, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

What a lovely, superbly made family film this is. It's the full dog movie package... a deeply enjoyable, eventful, spirited adventure that easily clocks in as one of the finest dog films we've seen since Marley & Me. February 20, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A sentimental but solid dependable retelling of an oft-told tale, it doesn't do anything radical with the material but gets by on well mounted set-pieces and Ford's grizzled gravitas. February 19, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
