A BRAVE HEART: The Lizzie Velasquez Story is a documentary following the inspiring journey of 26 year old, 58 pound Lizzie from cyber-bullying victim to anti-bullying activist. Born with a rare syndrome that prevents her from gaining weight, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Velasquez was first bullied as a child in school for looking different and, later online, as a teenager when she discovered a YouTube video labeling her "The World's Ugliest Woman." The film chronicles unheard stories and details of Lizzie's physical and emotional journey up to her multi-million viewed TEDx talk, and follows her pursuit from a motivational speaker to Capitol Hill as she lobbies for the first federal anti-bullying bill.
Leave your thoughts about A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story.
| Austin American-StatesmanMatt ShiverdeckerA Brave Heart is a powerful portrait of one of the most determined and authentic people you'll ever encounter. |
| Film Journal InternationalSimi HorwitzWell-intentioned documentary about a young woman afflicted with a horrifically disfiguring genetic disorder would like to be inspirational but feels exploitative. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireIt’s a worthwhile film that could have been a powerful film if it had gone beyond the skin-deep. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyIt's a very direct film, a lovely portrait of family and strength and just how far one voice can carry. |
| The PlaylistKimber MyersHirsh Bordo’s first film isn’t ambitious in its style or structure, but it is entirely effective at communicating its encouraging message to the audience. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierShe's inexhaustible, seemingly everywhere at once and, throughout director Sara Hirsh Bordo's unblinking, well-directed film, she is absolutely and fearlessly herself. Which is exactly as it should be -- the world needs Lizzie Velasquez. |
| Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiA life-affirming documentary if ever there was one, A Brave Heart is a litmus test for gauging compassion, one I would recommend everyone take immediately. |
| VarietyElla TaylorA Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story is strong on Velasquez’s developing backbone and smarts with the support of school and family. As a rallying cry for anti-bullying legislation, however, the film is superficial. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberOne wonders if A Brave Heart might have been more effective as a short film than as a feature. The characters and the story compel our attention, but the film runs out of steam before the end. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniVelásquez is a remarkable individual, and her message should not go unheeded. |
