An unhomogenized combination of formulaic family entertainment and cornpone Southern fable.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Sincere rather than cynical.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

Fans of DiCamillo's book should be pleased with how Wang has faithfully preserved the novel's clear-eyed depiction of both pain and joy.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

A whimsical family film about longing and belonging told with gentle humanity.
