Leave your thoughts about Mission to Lars.
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerDocumentaries about disabilities don’t come any smarter or more touching than Mission to Lars, a beautiful sibling road trip tale with a heavy-metal flourish. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineNot only is this documentary warm-hearted and thoroughly entertaining, but it has a lot to teach us about how families can rise to the challenge of mental disability. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyNever mind the bickering and cajoling: this is a lovely, generous chronicle of a lovely, generous gesture. |
| Daily StarAndy LeaThe film, which plays a little like a real-life Rain Man, may be a bit rough around the edges but that only adds to its charm. Kate and Will show their relationship with their brother in all its messiness. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyIt’s also enlightening, the Spicers and us learning things about Tom that inform, move, humanise and suck us into his story. |
| EmpireEve BarlowThis is not about where the Spicers end up, but how they get there, and you endure every stressful, exhausting and spectacularly tender moment of that voyage with them. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerWarm hearted and ultimately moving documentary that combines gentle humour, an engaging central quest and some thought provoking observations on learning disability. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonIt will not teach you very much about either autism or Metallica, but you will leave the theater smiling. |
| Little White LiesBethany RutterMore about musical obsession than the nuts and bolts of autism, but very sweet all the same. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerA relentlessly manipulative, aggressively upbeat movie that can't let a single moment pass without commenting on its wonderfulness through questionable editorial or musical choices. |
