	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"'A.X.L.' feels in desperate need of repairs (...) Daly adapted this feature from his 2015 seven-minute short, and you get the feeling that longer definitely isn't better."	NEG
United States	Mark Dujsik rogerebert.com	"As for the story, there isn't much of one (...) The dog itself is portrayed by a disjointed combination of sleek visual effects and ungainly puppetry (...) What's missing is any genuine personality (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"[It] is something worse than bad. It’s utterly forgettable (...) Specifically, it’s a shameless ripoff of the 'Transformers' franchise"	NEG
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"A family movie where the dog is too scary for kids and the plot is too ridiculous for adults"	NEG
