| NonficsChristopher CampbellI hope this film is a good thing for everyone involved. I just can't promise it has much value for any audience outside of that. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIt's one of the most emotionally charged documentaries you'll ever see (I'm tearing up at my desk just at the memory of it, so you can imagine how many tissues it took to actually watch it). |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chase[An] elegiac yet emotionally gripping documentary about the aftereffects of the Sandy Hook Massacre on the survivors. |

| Film Journal InternationalDavid Noh[A] heartbreaking but ultimately radiant doc about the aftermath of an unthinkable tragedy. |
