Critics' reviews

"Hanks gives another moving, relatable performance in a saga that doesn’t have much new to say about doomsday"

Alonso Duralde: The Wrap
Big-hearted and bolstered by a genuine love of dogs, Miguel Sapochnik's Post-Apocalyptic saga is the right blend of style and substance with the epic story of a man, robot and canine""

Tomris Laffly: Variety
"At a time when feature-length sci-fi is dominated by franchise spectacle, someone made a tender, quiet, and terrifically affecting post-apocalyptic drama"

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"Finch wins no prizes for subtlety or originality, but there’s always an audience for this kind of sweet assault on the tear ducts, especially when there’s a cute dog involved."

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"'Finch' feels slightly cobbled together from other, similar pieces of entertainment (...) I couldn't help but think that the film would probably be even better had Spielberg himself helmed it."

Chris Evangelista: SlashFilm
"Finch’s main problem is its amiable, low-key vibe, which feels at odds with such a grim scenario. At times, the movie plays like a buddy comedy"

Mike D'Angelo: AV Club
"Pleasant enough but fails to surprise (...) It’s comfortable being a pastiche of more interesting movies, and I suppose as far as streaming content goes, that’s fine"
