Leave your thoughts about Becoming Bulletproof.
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe term "inspirational" gets bandied about a lot, but Becoming Bulletproof is thoroughly deserving of that tag. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckBecoming Bulletproof is as enjoyable as it is inspiring. |
| The New York TimesKen JaworowskiWhile the scenes shown from “Bulletproof,” the western they complete, are haphazard, that’s of little concern. If you want to see real courage, it’s not in that movie anyway. It’s in this documentary. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerAs a piece of filmmaking, Becoming Bulletproof is haphazard and overloaded with talking heads. But as a window into the lives of some of these actors, it’s often moving. |
| Village VoiceMonica CastilloBecoming Bulletproof extols that virtue of inclusivity by not only showing the diverse actors onscreen, but giving them the chance to share their behind-the-scenes stories as well. Unfortunately, the documentary never transcends its rather conventional structure, relying instead on the do-good intentions of its audience to see it through. |
| Slant MagazineWes GreeneThe trust that Bulletproof's filmmakers have in their cast and their talent is humanely and succinctly illustrated throughout. |
| Film Journal InternationalFrank LoveceA rare film about the disabled that shows them as the regular folks they are, and the disciplined creativity of which they're capable. |
| User ReviewCary PAnnual movie making camp for special needs people. Profile of AJ with cerebral palsy: in constant pain every day, but still wakes up each day with a smile on his face. Impossible not to love these people. |
| User ReviewSam DLOVED THIS MOVIE! Breaks all barriers. It's about Love one another...Heartfelt, tender, meaningful and surprising... You will laugh, cry and jump for joy... |
| User ReviewEpicLadySpongeBecoming Bulletproof is becoming foolproof. Becoming inspirational is too much of a thing but that's went Becoming Bulletproof did to survive being an inspirational movie worth watching again and again. |
