"
Lassie
is old-fashioned family entertainment, and I hope audiences aren't afraid to take a chance on a movie that might not be paced like a race car, but offers gentle adventure and alternative heroism instead."

"Writer/director Charles Sturridge adapts the heart-warming story with strict attention to its modest emotional underpinnings of family, devotion, and a beautiful collie."

Jeffrey Chen

Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
7/10
"Lassie déjà vu filmed in the magnificent British Isles with more than enough animal stampedes to enthrall an entire theatre of ten year olds, and their parents."
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
A-
"Knows that kids live in a grown-up world, that they are not isolated from such realities as unemployment or war, and can relate to the problems of adult characters as well as those of children and animals."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
7/10
"Yes, they're still making a few timeless, sentimental family films the way they used to - with no CGI."
