Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
39 POUNDS OF LOVE is the heartwarming story of Ami Ankilewitz, an American-born Israeli who at the age of 1 was diagnosed with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy that renders him immobile, except for one finger, which he uses to work as a 3D animator. His doctor predicated he'd die before the age of six. Over thirty years have passed and Ami, weighing only 39 pounds, still survives and "loves life", he is considered one of the world's greatest medical miracles. The film follows a riveting cross-country journey that Ami took with friends across the USA to look for the doctor who thought he wouldn't survive.
Leave your thoughts about 39 Pounds of Love.
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonMid-life crisis takes on a completely new meaning when a skin and bones muscular dystrophy victim risks death for one last Harley ride and a bus to the Grand Canyon. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyDespite Menkin's clear belief that he's crafted a rousing true-life drama, his film plays like a cliché-ridden, painfully self-conscious Hollywood melodrama about a noble person with disabilities. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxAside from the overbearing soundtrack, the film is mercifully unsentimental and Ami himself can be quite droll. |
| Film ThreatPhil HallIf there is one film which makes the most out of life, this is it. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyDani Menkin's documentary tracks his odyssey, which by nature is hard to be cynical about. Still, the feature feels padded even at 70 minutes. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitChronicles the inspirational adventure of a remarkable man. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderIf one ignores the excesses, 39 Pounds of Love becomes a road trip worth taking. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThere are some very moving scenes, and Ankilewitz' emotional and physical strength is certainly inspiring. Equally compelling is the dedication of his able-bodied friends and family, who never patronize him. Regrettably, the film itself, which feels both breathlessly over-awed and padded out at only 74 minutes, is unable to treat him with the same relaxed respect. |
| Dallas ObserverMelissa LevineThis is the kind of documentary that, though not particularly accomplished by way of direction, writing, or editing, has such a compelling subject that there's no question about its worth. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumIn moments that have nothing to do with representing the weight of love (whatever that is), the film comes alive: when Ami Ankilewitz isn't a symbol - just a man who, for instance, loves a woman. |
