Though the film falters in terms of its lack of a streamlined narrative, there is no denying that it is packed to the rafters with meaty ideas and characters who are charged with a satisfying moral ambivalence.

Year of the Dog asks how far we should be willing to go for the love of animals, and for that matter, for love itself.
Dana Stevens, Slate

White's humanist account of a woman more comfortable with animals than people is another intricately crosshatched sketch in his gallery of outsiders.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

There are those who believe empathy is the quality that separates man from beast, but what does it say that White directs his compassion exclusively toward animals?
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald

Much is said in little moments: The entire cast offers jots of humor and insight, from Reilly and Sarsgaard to Laura Dern as a spiny sister-in-law and Regina King as Layla, a vehemently supportive friend.
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
