	Media	Author	Review
		Lee Brown The Review Geek	"Excellent special effects elevate ordinary family flick"
		Marshall Shaffer Decider	"It's a soaring adventure film that provides the kind of entertainment for the whole family that has recently been farmed out to franchises"
		Concepción de León The New York Times	"Though the concept is promising, and some moments are tender, one wishes the film had delved deeper into the chupacabra myth and the characters' stories to make for a more satisfying watch"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Cuarón doesn't exactly hide his influences here, paying overt homage to Steven Spielberg throughout (...) Something inspirational and accessible to the younger generation"
		Matt Donato Paste Magazine	"A rascally, if not the boldest or most artfully composed, coming-of-age fable that proudly represents Mexican culture"
		Shannon Connellan Mashable	"A sweet, thoughtful adventure about family, celebrating heritage, and flipping the bird to bad guys who'd pursue magical creatures for money"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"It's a shame that this well-meaning movie is often so rote (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Lori C. Ready Steady Cut	"Even if you take the mythical away, this is a touching story about family, the importance of heritage, and the bonds that matter most to us (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"The plot here is very basic and the action sequences, while solid, are unspectacular (...) The characters are likable and memorable, with a fun dynamic"
