Hachiko's story has always been inspiring... However, this new adaptation mismanages the tone and pace and fails to capture it, resulting in a simple but extremely monotonous story that gets in the way of the plot's progress. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

... While it maintains the principal characteristics of the story on which it is based, it fails to deliver a premise that supports its extensive narrative, and lacks rhythm and contemplative depth. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/5

Hachiko is a worthy remake of the original film of the same name. This drama about a loyal family dog has some dull moments, but the movie has good performances. The tone is sentimental without overloading on schmaltz.

Crushingly emotional remake of the saddest movie I’ve ever seen. It reminds you to hug your dog when you get home.

I think the movie lacked a bit more substance, but the simplicity of this versión deserves recognition. The ending was touching.

A true tale of love between owner and dog. Had me in tears, don't know if my heart can take watching it again - but still would recommend.
