Movie Reviews

Newark Star-Ledger - 10/10 by Stephen WhittySome of the children's photographs are lovely, and the film has a thick, humid vibrancy to its colors.
Seattle Times - 10/10 by Tom KeoghThis low-tech, buoyant, yet often heartbreaking film is miracle enough on its own terms, full of surprises and tragic reminders that many kids are robbed of their dreams and promise by exploitative forces.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Colin CovertIt's one of the most inspiring finales I've seen in a long while.
Princeton Town Topics - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsIn the end, you can't help but wonder exactly what it was you've just seen. A hard-hitting exposé? Voyeuristic slumming? A true tale of triumph, against all odds? A self-aggrandizing, vanity biopic? Some new type of reality film?Perhaps all of the above.
Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) - 10/10 by Randy ShulmanDespite the bleak subject matter, Born into Brothels [contains] moments of pure elation.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Ty BurrThis is the kind of film that reminds you of what movies, at their best, are capable of.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Carla MeyerBefore our eyes, Briski confronts and answers questions of exploitation that can shadow profilers of the downtrodden.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowThe title captures this film's harrowing qualities, but not its energy, its limpid beauty or its spiritual grace.
Arizona Republic - 10/10 by Richard NilsenOne feels manipulated rather than enlightened.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranSeven years in the making, it demands to be experienced not just because of the good it does but because of how unexpectedly good, even buoyant, it makes you feel.
