Reviews & comments
Variety
pressPic's main problem is that its human story lacks drama; Hachi's the central attraction.
Time Out
pressSensitively directed and rarely over-sentimental, this touching parable will likely ravish the emotions of dog lovers.
The Guardian
pressLasse Hallstrom dishes up more classy mediocrity with this brazenly uncomplicated treat for dog lovers.
Los Angeles Times
pressDirector Lasse Hallström and writer Stephen P. Lindsey are to be admired for their firm anti-"Marley & Me" stance. Their tale is simple, told through a child describing his grandfather's dog as his "hero."
Hollywood Reporter
pressThis affecting man-and-dog tale largely steers clear of mawkishness.
