Leave your thoughts about Togo.
| IndieWireKate ErblandThe film really hits hard when it leans more into the emotion of it all. |
| PolygonKaren HanThe real joy of Togo is simple: Willem Dafoe plus dog, and sometimes Willem Dafoe plus dogs, plural. He tells them they’re good dogs. (They are.) They lick his face. (So would I.) As they race through the ice and snow, they bring a sense of warmth and life to the landscape. It’s wonderful. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenThe movie is affectionate because it has that sense of animal love that lets entire sequences rest on Togo’s charms, but is by no means letting the dog do all the work. Director Ericson Core (previously of the “Point Break” remake) clearly cares about animals, but filmmaking, too. |
| CNNBrian LowryThere's nary a note of surprise to be found, but the heroism and man-dog bond carry the movie along. |
| Screen RantChris AgarThough Togo is headed straight for a streaming service, it's still feels like a very cinematic experience. Director Ericson Core (who also served as the movie's cinematographer), excels at portraying the brutal conditions Leonhard and his team endured during the serum run. |
| EmpireIan FreerTogo is in a slightly more sombre register than Call Of The Wild but delivers similar sturdy pleasures; exciting dog-in-peril action and striking landscapes, all anchored by Dafoe’s grounded performance. |
| SlashfilmJosh SpiegelWillem Dafoe isn’t delivering one of his all-time performances, but he’s also not phoning it in. And these are, truly, good dogs. Togo is content in showing you those good dogs, and not much else. It’s a decent enough way to spend two hours, but only just. |
| User ReviewMissbee9282By far one of my new favorite movies. Loved it so much I told every all my family and friends. Great learning about the history of what really happened. |
| User ReviewTarunpatoliyaAfter watching the trailer, I’m excited to watch this movie. When the film was released, and I’m started to watch, I’m telling myself, “Why this movie not released in the theatre?” It was a fantastic experience to watch Togo. It’s a heartwarming and thriller. Cinematographer Ericson Core has done his best job in this movie. Cinematography and CGI are the best part of the Disney+ Togo movie. The way the director Ericson Core wanted to connect the entire story with us and he was successful in it. You will also become a little emotional while watching this movie. Willem Dafoe has done his best performance in the role of Seppala. You have to watch a Togo movie for a new adventure, thriller, and inspirational experience. |
| User ReviewDarklordcreeperAn absolute travesty that it only has a 71%. How have critics become so out of touch? This is a beautiful, heartwarming story that is bound to stay with you. A real tearjerker. The cinematography is incredible and Dafoe is brilliant. |
