Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter What comes across most strongly, and gives the film its emotional power, is Indy’s unfailing loyalty to his beloved owner and his willingness do practically anything to protect him. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Leonberg crafts a thoughtful, unnerving, and heartrending portrayal of how utterly terrifying it can be for a dog when his whole world is upended and he’s unable to understand why. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Amanda Sink The Hollywood Outsider Good Boy is a visually captivating horror film told from a dog's perspective, offering a fresh, disorienting experience, though its story falls short of fully realizing its intriguing premise. Rated: 6/10 Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street Independent moviemaking magic! An ingenious angle for an overworked subgenre, and one that delivers in spades thanks to its adorable lead, and brilliant direction & editing that really sets the story directly in a dog’s world. Rated: 86% Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry Good Boy is a haunting, unconventional horror, featuring one of the best performances I have seen this year (by a dog no less) and shows Ben Leonberg has captured lightening in a bottle. Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Mary Beth McAndrews Dread Central Don’t let the gimmick fool you; Good Boy is primed to be one of the most chilling movies of 2025. Rated: 4/5 Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
