Togo Reviews
Togo, as a movie, is adventurous but riskless, heart-warming but shallow, and works and it doesn’t.
| Jul 20, 2023
Disney goes back to the well like no other with a throwback to films like White Fang, Balto, and Iron Will with a big family adventure film that swells with heart and builds genuine suspense.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2022
A comforting film for anyone looking for some action and a lot of heart. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 29, 2020
Even fans of Dafoe's ever-more-Hemingway-esque career trajectory will find a lot to relish.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 28, 2020
Exciting adventure, correcting an error in the history books.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 8, 2020
With Togo comes the satisfaction of seeing a solidly old-fashioned Hollywood adventure told in a superb manner.
| Original Score: 8/10 | May 22, 2020
You'll warm up to 'Togo,' the true story of a heroic sled dog.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 11, 2020
A beautiful and melancholic biopic that is sure to become a Disney+ gem. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 9, 2020
The back-and-forth storytelling might confuse kids initially - but it's a cute dog film with a good story, and it looks stunning.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2020
The film's particular breed of old-school Disneyosity - a sweetly earnest, action-filled tale of the bond between man and beast - feels like an ideal tonic.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 26, 2020
Togo 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.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2020
While this true story of a husky tested to his limits in 1925 Alaska does push some of the same emotional buttons, it never quite packs the same punch.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2020
It ticks the box of being something children can watch with their grandparents when visiting them, before fading from memory on the car ride home.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 20, 2020
A delightful throwback to films like 'White Fang' and 'Iron Will'. I really enjoyed it!

At a startling and completely unnecessary 114 minutes, every scene of Togo drags.

Willem Dafoe and his Husky Togo's life-or-death journey is a mesmerizing nail-biter. Additional roles by Zahn McClarnon and Michael Greyeyes add depth to the story, but it's still a non-Native guy's story in Native Alaska
| Original Score: 8.9/10 | Jan 11, 2020
Come for Willem Dafoe. Stay for Willem Dafoe, plus Julianne Nicholson and a very special dog.
| Original Score: 4.0/5 | Jan 6, 2020
There is something deeply spiritual and sentimental in witnessing two great partners...nearing the end of their journey together.

"Togo" features some genuinely exciting and tense sequences. Director and Cinematographer Ericson Core certainly knows how to stage a journey through the snow.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 30, 2019
While the subject is familiar, the moderate pacing and focus on characterization over unrelenting action set it apart.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 2019
