Based off a true story

General ★★★★☆

Story ★★★★☆

Heart touching story, watched with my mom and she just cried through

I dislike the way of showing when they found the dogs in the film but other than that, it's pretty decent movie

Special effect ★★★☆☆

They did have some special effect for the earthquake and dog falling etc

Not bad, and not good, unlike most hollywood movies, this is story based film, so yeah... doesn't really matter a lot

Music ★★★★☆

In my opinion, it has one good bgm and ending song
