Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Stephen Gillespie — ★★★★
   “A strong Yukon adventure that tames the harsher elements of the novel but earns its warmth through canine loyalty and sweeping snowbound vistas.”

2. Noah Cassidy — ★★★★½
   “Beautifully shot and genuinely heartfelt—Jack London’s spirit shines even as the story shifts toward family-friendly terrain.”

3. Larry Karaszewski — ★★★☆☆
   “It sacrifices bite for broad appeal—less raw than the book, but still fun once you surrender to its wholesome tone.”

4. Edgar Cochran — ★★★★
   “Unexpectedly deep for a Disney-era adventure; the bond with the wolf-dog is worth watching for alone.”

5. Frank Ritz — ★★★★½
   “Surprise hit: intense wilderness sequences, strong performances, and a dog-wolf that steals every scene.”
