Leave your thoughts about Paper Clips.
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansCertainly not the tribute these kids and adults deserve. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJonathan CurielWhat makes Paper Clips so powerful and moving is the way everyone in the film seems affected by the Whitwell project. The students change. The teachers change. The townspeople change. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe film is constructed simply, even amateurishly, but the power of what's being done comes through loud and clear. The material is far better than the movie. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThe best moments in Paper Clips - and there are plenty - come when it doesn't resort to mundane cliches or calculated emotions to make its point. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteWhere other documentarians look for a charismatic personality to enliven their films, Berlin and Fab focus on the community as a whole. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is straightforward, heartfelt and genuine. |
| Miami HeraldConnie OgleIt's a small, heartening slice of life that feels like a crucial step toward something bigger. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovThe filmmakers wisely stay in the background and allow the people of Whitwell to tell their own story, although this simple, honest little film is occasionally marred by an emotionally manipulative music score straight out of Heartstring Tuggers 101. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevySuch a powerful sincerity and goodness flows through Paper Clips. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenDocu is the best introduction to the Holocaust for tweens. |
