Marc Savlov

Austin Chronicle

Space Dogs is more meditatively Tarkovskian than History Channel fodder. Kremser and Peter employ plenty of archival and often painful-to-watch footage of these unwitting animal pioneers; they were not "boldly going," but rather "uncomprehendingly sent."

Rated: 3/5

Slant Magazine

The film draws us through its play toward darker, too-seldom-considered sides of human and doggy nature.

Rated: 3.5/4

Guardian

It's hard to shake the feeling that a genuinely arresting documentary was cast adrift somewhere along the line.

We are unable to engage with [the dogs] in any meaningful way beyond conjecture ... In a sense, though, this discrepancy is what is most fascinating about the film.

Hyperallergic

In telling these animals' stories, directors Elsa Kremser and Levin Peter decline to anthropomorphize them, instead asking the audience to try out an alien perspective.

In the end, I feel as though Space Dogs has a lot to say about... something. I'm just not really sure what it is.

Rated: 5/10
