Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal Film by film, Mr. Wahlberg is using his pull to create a tribute to the world’s tough, decent, humble working guys. Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Lindsey Bahr Associated Press Maybe the movie will direct some eyes toward the existence of the Arthur Foundation, but while the movie goes down easy enough it is, on the whole, a bit unsatisfying. Rated: 2/4 Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Nell Minow RogerEbert.com The movie reminds us that we should pay close attention to the goals we set for ourselves, to decide whether achieving them will really give us what we are hoping for and what it means to win. Rated: 3/4 Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Vinamra Mathur Firstpost The visuals are stunning and the film keeps you on the edge of your seats. Cinematographer Jacques Jouffret sucks you in the world he shoots and handled ably by Simon Jones. Rated: 3/5 Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Steve Morrissey Radio Times The ace up this drama's sleeve, though, is Ukai, the scrappy, hairy crossbreed playing Arthur. Rated: 3/5 Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine While the dog and Wahlberg do their best to move the audience with their attitude of dedication towards each other, the film fails to touch the sensitive fibers typical of this type of story.
