In 1943, in the French Alps, the orphan Sébastien lives in a small village with his grandfather César, who is a shepherd, and his aunt Angélina, who is a baker. Sébastien misses his mother and believes she has traveled to America. He expects to get a watch with compass as a gift from her.

| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's nearly impossible to screw up a tale of friendship like this, with "Belle and Sebastian" hitting all the highlights of harmony and valor. Cute dog close-ups help too. |
| Common Sense MediaGrace MontgomeryBeautiful film about WWII has intense themes, drinking. |
| QuickflixJess LomasA tale of innocence and companionship that is thankfully nowhere near as traumatic as Old Yeller. |
| At the Movies (Australia)Jason Di RossoLook, I know it's full of clichés but it's such a delicate film. It won me over completely. It's so authentic. |
| Cairo360Marija DjurovicSimple and charming, Belle & Sebastian is not without fault, but still has plenty of lovable traits that come together to form a warm and largely undemanding view. |
| At the Movies (Australia)Judith LucyYou don't really see many films like this anymore, there's no whiz bangery it's just a very simple story beautifully filmed. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Kathy FennessyThis is an old-fashioned film in every way, and that's its biggest strength. |
| 3AWJim SchembriPassable family entertainment...Director Nicolas Vanier is a little lazy at times - the film features one of the most unconvincing gunshot wounds in dog movie history - but it hits all the right buttons. |
| Impulse GamerDamien StrakerSince when does France adopt the lazy Hollywood model of refurnishing old, safe ideas, rather than challenging us with daring new ones? |
