Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by Neil GenzlingerThe film couldn't be more heartening - yes, individual actions do make a difference. But it's bittersweet as well. You can't help wondering about all the children who don't get tapped on the shoulder by the hand of fate.
Daily Mirror (UK) - 8/10 by David EdwardsThe budget may be small change and it comes with no stars, but here's a documentary with a whole heap of heart.
Shadows on the Wall - 7/10 by Rich ClineThis multi-layered documentary couldn't be more inspirational if it tried. As it shows the ripple effect of an act of charity, we begin to understand that anything we can do might actually help.
ViewLondon - 6/10 by Matthew TurnerWell made, powerfully moving and genuinely inspirational documentary that shows the astonishing ripple effect of an act of charity.
Radio Times - 6/10 by David ParkinsonThe message here is certainly inspirational, but the film is cinematically conservative and fails to pack much political punch.
Guardian - 6/10 by Peter BradshawJennifer Arnold's heartfelt and idealistic documentary celebrates the remarkable effect of a small - actually, not so small - act of altruism.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by Patrick PetersAn understated doc that will inspire and move you.
Little White Lies - 6/10 by Kevin HarleyHeartening as small acts are, the bigger issues here demand a more rigorous address.
Time Out - 4/10 by Eric HynesIt's an inspiring narrative-as are the interwoven stories of three students hoping to earn that educational gift-but the doc itself is more of a telethon-ready fund-raiser than a work of dramatic reportage.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Simon AbramsArnold just expects her audience to accept that Mburu's doing the best he can and revere him for it.
