Metacritic

Overall, Roth crafts a resonant picture, purposefully threading in themes centered on identity and degradation with a sensitive, deft touch. Where it falters in properly contextualizing its pervading sentiments, it often finds resilient strength in the smart parallels between animal and human.

The film, unfortunately, is poorly acted and offers Hallmark Channel-level craftsmanship.

Roth wisely manages to avoid excess mawkishness and keeps the action moving apace.
