Rafael Motamayor IndieWire What could have easily been a cheap gimmick instead provides the foundation for one of the best horror films so far this year. Rated: A- May 3, 2025 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter What comes across most strongly, and gives the film its emotional power, is Indy’s unfailing loyalty to his beloved owner and his willingness do practically anything to protect him. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Leonberg crafts a thoughtful, unnerving, and heartrending portrayal of how utterly terrifying it can be for a dog when his whole world is upended and he’s unable to understand why. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Michael Ward Should I See It Good Boy does offer ... one of the greatest animal actor performances of all time. Rated: 3/5 Jun 1, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots While it may not fully deliver on its potential, this indie horror experiment is a whole lot more than just another low-budget curiosity. It's spooky, strange, and surprisingly heartfelt, and you should never underestimate the power of a cute dog. May 9, 2025 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews High concept ghost story told from a dog's viewpoint. Rated: B May 7, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
