The twist ending both saves and hurts the film. The last few minutes are a bit clichéd, if not uplifting, but what gets Maddy there is heartbreaking and infuriating.- New York Daily News

The film is both heartwarming and soul-shattering. Its theme of an unbreakable bond between man and his best friend is reminiscent of "My Dog Skip," "Homeward Bound" and "Old Yeller."- New York Daily News

Steinfeld is brilliantly able to weave together a character who's both typical and yet surprising in her multidimensional emotions that Nadine slowly works through. She's not a cookie-cutter character.- New York Daily News
