Christian Science Monitor
It's all deliberately homemade and raggedy, and that's where its charm comes from, along with the delightful old-music score. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Gives these canines the sensual elegance of the Calvin Klein models Weber has so famously photographed. Would that the substance of the film have come close to having the impact of its visuals. - 50
Variety
Gorgeously lensed, photographer-turned-helmer Bruce Weber's heartfelt docu tribute to his dogs, his friends and his friends'dogs. - 50
The New York Times
It all makes for a poignant mix, the boy inside the man, pressing his nose against the glass, longing for the journalistic authenticity of someone like Burrows while still believing in Lassie and the unconditional love of True. - 50
New York Daily News
The resulting movie is a mixed bag, not quite a documentary and yet as "true" to Weber's fascinations as a dog named True can be to his master. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
No matter how deep one's affection for man's best friend, there's something undeniably fatuous about considering the emotional impact 9/11 has had on a dog named Rain. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
It's all so cute -- except that Weber wants this to be a thoughtful film. - 40
The A.V. Club
The definition of a vanity film, Weber's latest opus lacks the focus even to qualify as dilettantish. Offering plenty for the eye and little for the brain, the film suffers from a dearth of ideas as it glides pleasantly but emptily from one gorgeous surface to another.
