Mary is 11 years old and has an insuppressible passion for cooking: she dreams of becoming a great chef. Her grandmother, Emer, with whom she has a very special relationship, encourages her to make this dream come true. But every path has its pesky obstacles, and facing them turns into quite an adventure. Mary thus begins a journey across the barriers of time, in which four generations of women come together and get to know each other truly and deeply. A delicate coming-of-age story, sprinkled with irony.

Irish Times

Working from a script written with the Bafta-winning Dave Ingham (Charlie and Lola), D’Alò leans into Doyle’s reliable ear for the vernacular. Hand-drawn monochrome dream sequences form an intriguing subplot around the sighthound of the title.

Rated: 3/5

ScreenAnarchy

Effortlessly shifting into adult territory with convincing authority, the film nonetheless remains a magical adventure that keeps its feet planted firmly in reality. ... It's the rare family-friendly adventure that adults of any age will enjoy.

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

While it won’t win any prizes for its depiction of Mary’s slovenly male family members, its sentimental celebration of female kinship is hard to knock.
