Togo Reviews
Even fans of Dafoe's ever-more-Hemingway-esque career trajectory will find a lot to relish.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 28, 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
"Togo" captures the spirit of classic "Wonderful World of Disney" films with more than a little help from director/cinematographer Ericson Core and a scene-stealing pooch.

A smart, affectionately made tale about an underdog and his musher.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 20, 2019
A simple movie, but one worthy, on its modest terms, of a "Well done" cheer all around.

When "Togo" gets going, it goes. The ever-earthy Dafoe forges a believable bond with the well-trained dog, and closing scenes are genuinely moving.

Willem Dafoe and a bunch of adorable sled dogs star in this heartwarming, action packed new movie based on a true story... The sequences involving Togo as a mischievous pup are pure magic.
| Dec 18, 2019
Impressive special effects, a warm performance by Dafoe, and an ungodly amount of cute pups raise the film a cut above Disney+'s other recent offerings, and Core's drama seems poised to break out as the streaming service's first true crowdpleasing hit.
