Movie Reviews

Christianity Today - 9/10 by Peter T. ChattawayWhile some parents might wish the film had more emotional depth, they will probably appreciate the gentle humor. Then they can introduce their children to the book.
eFilmCritic.com - 9/10 by Greg MuskewitzThe words creak with calculated composition that never sufficiently capture the foreignness of the situations or individuality of people.
FilmJerk.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfThough it looks like it was made for two nickels, I Am David resonates strongly in the heart, which is all this film is truly going after.
Decent Films Guide - 8/10 by Steven D. GreydanusAt its best in the taut opening and in the third act, when the pieces finally come together. In between, the episodic story sags a bit.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekA nice enough picture, but it's also slow and meandering. Watching it is like seeing a decent Family Channel movie, except in this case you have to pay for it.
EricDSnider.com - 8/10 by Eric D. SniderIt is not an especially brilliant film, nor does it execute its ideas with particular flair, and yet I cannot resist liking and being moved by it.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 7/10 by Robert DenersteinIt's not lack of a strong story that keeps I Am David from taking off. Blame a straightforward approach that makes the movie feel too much like an after-school special.
TheMovieChicks.com - 6/10 by Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneIt's like Tom Sawyer's Great Escape - a strange combination of stories that's interesting, but doesn't quite capture your emotions.
Kansas City Star - 6/10 by Dan Lybarger"I Am David" earns just about every teardrop it elicits. The journey isn't smooth, but that doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile.
Dallas Morning News - 6/10 by Nancy ChurninLeaves you with the lingering scent of truth.
