	Author	Review
United States	Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"Carolin and Tatum’s directorial instincts bring a fresh approach to this type of film. It’s a pleasure to say that this is one good 'Dog'."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[It] goes deeper than expected (...) The fun that Tatum and company took in making it translates directly to the pleasure we take in watching."	POS
United States	Alison Willmore Vulture	"[It] isn’t a dumb movie; it just has a frustrating habit of playing dumb with all its intense, self-defeating caution when it comes to criticism of the military"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'Dog' is unabashedly sentimental (...) Luckily, Tatum’s self-deprecating charm and Carolin’s script keep the story on the tolerable side of maudlin."	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"It might be a pet project for Tatum but it’s a rough ride for the rest of us (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Siddhant Adlakha IGN	"It ends up a strange and shockingly funny mish-mash of ideas, and verges on an unintentional deconstruction of recent Hollywood war films."	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"[The film] skillfully walks a fine line by adopting a highly respectful view of the military while managing to be irreverent at the same time"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Deadline	"The result is a mangy thing that underwhelms but nonetheless does have its moments."	NEU
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"Like Clooney before him, Tatum hasn’t quite made his own Soderbergh movie. He has, however, made a surprisingly good one."	POS
Canada	Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"Channing Tatum is charmless in uneven, misguided road trip drama (...) 'Dog' stands out for how unintentionally toxic it is (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Lindsey Bahr ABC News	"Ultimately it does work, but 'Dog' is a movie that is trying to do quite a bit, and perhaps bites off a little more than it can reasonably handle in 90 minutes."	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It] will divide audiences into two uneven camps: Those surprised to discover that it’s actually good, and those disappointed to learn that it’s not astoundingly great."	POS
United States	Simon Abrams The Wrap	"Both the movie’s leisurely pace and its picturesque cinematography (...) bring out the best in Tatum (...) But the conceptual set-up of most scenes will probably either sell you or turn you off from 'Dog'"	NEU
United States	Jason Bailey The Playlist	"It’s all so deeply confused, particularly in its ill-advised attempts to dive into serious territory about war and service and PTSD"	NEG
United States	Soren Andersen Seattle Times	"[Tatum's] command of the role and his confident direction of the picture make 'Dog' a very engaging experience (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"[It] delivers what it promises (...) The actor lets his cuddly co-star shine and wrings out a few touching moments of his own, too (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Empire	"'Dog' is more interesting than the standard man-mutt buddy movie but still never really pulls the heartstrings. What it lacks in urgency and emotion, Tatum more than makes up for in movie-star wattage (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"'Dog' is shot with lilting beauty by exceptional director of photography and directors ensure that a light touch is always present"	POS
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"'Dog' has its cinematic heart in the right place, with an unconscious bias (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"'Dog' is slickly mounted, crafted with a care for detail that distinguishes it from many of its sentimental dog movie brethren"	POS
