Leave your thoughts about Bending the Arc.
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeMost magically, it transcends the colossal power of its own story to show how individual beings, one step at a time, can right the course of inequality and injustice. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisIt’s a rousing, feel-good story about overcoming barriers, even when the challenges — poverty, lack of medical access — are inherently bleak. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughIn the end, the film describes not so much an arc as a circle. Kim, who had criticized the World Bank for its callous approach to financing health care for the poor, is appointed its chairman by President Obama in 2012. |
| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedBeautifully shot and edited, the movie does justice to its subjects. Still, it has [a] promo-video quality, at times ... that detracts from its perfection. |
| Screen-SpaceSimon Foster[A] story of social heroism, fierce spiritual triumph and driven scientific determination. |
| VarietyGeoff BerkshireWith the gripping appeal of a great epic novel, Kief Davidson and Pedro Kos’ documentary spans three decades of diligent work on the frontlines of global health crises to prove, in moving detail, the difference dedicated professionals can make in seemingly hopeless situations. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThere is always a crisis happening somewhere. Bending The Arc shows that it's possible to make the world better. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe men refused to be deterred by institutional rigidity, political apathy or a skeptical scientific community. Their perseverance is cheering, giving the movie a brightly buoyant tone that belies the suffering at its center and renders the sometimes distracting musical score largely unnecessary. |
| The GuardianLeslie FelperinAlthough the treacly soundtrack overpunches on the sentiment at times, this is undeniably moving stuff – especially scenes where some of the doctors see footage of patients they helped save, still very much alive and thriving today. |
| The Young FolksNathanael HoodIn a world that gets more inter-connected every year, its lessons are too vital to ignore. |
