A young man (Luke Newberry) finds companionship and discovers a connection to the world around him when he unexpectedly meets up with a greyhound runaway.

Ed Potton

Times (UK)

Retro costumiers across the country must have been ransacked for this 1977-set comedy. Unfortunately, no amount of bell bottoms and polyester shirts can disguise its lack of gumption.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

It's a strange, gritless oyster of a film, more feelbland than feelgood.

The Upcoming

As far as British indie films go, there are certainly funnier out there with a whole lot more creativity, but for anyone looking for a feel-good adventure to keep the family entertained on a rainy afternoon, they can't go wrong with Dusty & Me.

Rated: 3/5

Sarah Cartland

Caution Spoilers

Beautifully staged in a 1970s northern town (apart from the Del Monte fruit cocktail which has far too many of those pink cherries), this is a sweet movie about a slightly misfit teen and his dog that won't raise any hackles except on a cat.

Rated: 2.5/5

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

Like quite a few British feel-good films, it's nostalgically set in the 1970s; like even more of them, it's well meant but flimsy.

Rated: 2/5

Tim P

A bit of lighthearted nostalgia with plenty of feelgood, it gets more enjoyable as it goes on with some of the characters finding a surprise for you, especially the trainer. It shows here's a kind heart for within most, especially where animals are involved, and just how lovely the greyhound is a breed

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
