But it is also about a powerful transcendent bond that makes this film epic. |

| 279623 | Dulcie Pearce | The Sun (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2026-09-24T23:48:38.000Z | 2026-09-24 23:48:38 | Heart Of The Beast beautifully conveys the incredible trust that can form between humans and animals — and how it can often be the most authentic love of all. |
| 279624 | Chris Wasser | Irish Independent | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-09-24T23:38:58.000Z | 2026-09-24 23:38:58 | Indeed, Heart of the Beast is a choppy ride, thinly sketched too, with barely enough story to go around. But Ayer’s film knows how to ramp up the tension and when to tug on our heartstrings. |
| 279625 | Peter Martin | DallasFilmNow.com | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-09-24T22:11:07.000Z | 2026-09-24 22:11:07 | On those counts, Heart of the Beast is a roaring success. |
| 279626 | Alan Ng | Film Threat | Fresh | 8/10 | 2026-09-24T21:43:20.000Z | 2026-09-24 21:43:20 | David Ayer’s tale is thrilling, has repeat-viewing value, and earns a solid recommendation. |
| 279627 | Lyle Kruger | That Shelf | Fresh | — | 2026-09-24T21:40:35.000Z | 2026-09-24 21:40:35 | ...a film with a real heart but a heavy hand, and across a trim 101 minutes it banks enough goodwill to survive its worst instincts. |
| 279628 | Nell Minow | Movie Mom | Fresh | B | 2026-09-24T21:39:39.000Z | 2026-09-24 21:39:39 | Pitt is terrific with Odin (played by a dog named Uber), making us feel their deep connection. And Odin is up there with Rin Tin Tin and Lassie in his daring and devotion. |
| 279580 | André Didyme-Dôme | Rolling Stone en Español | Fresh | — | 2026-09-24T21:04:34.000Z | 2026-09-24 21:04:34 | Beast needs us to believe that a man would travel 93 kilometers, wreck his body, and defy nature for a dog. Pitt achieves something even more difficult: making us believe that the dog would do exactly the same for him. [Full review in Spanish] |

| 279582 | Shilajit Mitra | The Hollywood Reporter India | Fresh | — | 2026-09-24T21:01:43.000Z | 2026-09-24 21:01:43 | What tides them through, ultimately, is not their individual strengths and skills but a wordless, unbroken covenant they forged in battle. Even the guilty must survive, the film entreats coyly. |
| 279583 | Nicolas Rapold | New York Times | Fresh | — | 2026-09-24T20:59:56.000Z | 2026-09-24 20:59:56 | The film chooses and holds its focus well, and it manages to transcend those painful origins with the loyalty that James and Odin show to each other, again and again. |
| 279577 | Robert Denerstein | Denerstein Unleashed | Fresh | — | 2026-09-24T20:58:28.000Z | 2026-09-24 20:58:28 | Filmed in New Zealand, Heart of the Beast makes the most of forest and mountain scenery for a wilderness drama that should speak loudly to those of us who have experienced and valued canine friendship. |
