What the critics say
Based on 15 reviews, Megan Leavey gets an average review score of 66
Based on a true story, "Megan Leavey" is that rare breed: a war movie that actually shows something new about war, a sub-culture within a familiar sub-culture, the world of the military's K-9 units.
2874d ago
Megan Leavey is an ambitious, yet restrained drama that celebrates the military while refusing to punch up the melodrama and action as an aggressive male filmmaker may have. The film celebrates warriors of all species, providing a subtle pro-military message that’s free from the rousing pomp one comes to expect from the genre.
2874d ago
If the conclusion doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, you’re way too cynical.
2874d ago
Kate Mara fights to adopt the bomb-sniffing German shepherd who served beside her in Iraq in stirring drama.
2874d ago
Kate Mara plays a Marine whose devotion to her bomb-sniffing dog extends beyond the war zone in this drama based on true events.
2874d ago
A Marine and her bomb-sniffing dog forge an unbreakable bond in Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s clunky but moving drama.
2874d ago
Megan Leavey is a rarity in Hollywood: a true story of a woman in combat, directed by a woman. This representation, combined with the undeniably lovable canine at its center, elevates it above the typical war film.
2874d ago
Can a film be clunky, manipulative, and schmaltzy, and still manage to get you choked up? Sure, there are a ton of mediocre tearjerkers that basically pry the tears out of your eyes with a sap and a crowbar.
2874d ago
The exceptionally mild Megan Leavey should come with a “must love dogs” disclaimer.
2874d ago
Animals make for good screenwriting devices, as characters can speak their inner feelings to them, but that doesn't make for the most subtle or efficient screenwriting.
2874d ago
This movie is rarely more than merely competent, but it should stir lovers of justice as well as dog fanciers.
2874d ago
It’s based on the true story of a Marine and her struggle to adopt the dog she worked with in Iraq.
2874d ago
Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite (“Blackfish”) mixes a war story and an uplifting animal tale with efficacy.
2874d ago
Director Cowperthwaite previously helmed the award-winning Blackfish, yet these two films couldn’t be more different in tone and execution.
2874d ago
Everyone here, from fellow marines to Iraqis, is merely a supporting player in Megan Leavey’s emotional journey.
