Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Daphne HowlandWe the Parents is a must-see civics lesson, an example of the power of grassroots organizing and of having a good lawyer, and of how seemingly small ideas can make big waves.
Shared Darkness - 8/10 by Brent SimonA fascinating look at the new frontier of America's public education crisis -- a timely, relevant snapshot of a cause in active motion.
Easy Reader (California) - 8/10 by Neely SwansonAlthough one loves to cheer for the underdog, this is a much more complicated subject than portrayed.
Variety - 7/10 by Dennis HarveyWhile no doubt a more evenhanded documentary remains to be made on this issue, the Takatas’ effort is polished and convincing on its own terms.
RogerEbert.com - 6/10 by Sheila O'MalleyWe the Parents, one-sided and promotional as it often feels, presents a possible solution, as well as the difficulties in achieving it.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckThe film doesn’t fully succeed in elucidating its complex issues. But the wide-spread problem it explores is clearly undeniable, and at the very least this rough-hewn but provocative documentary will hopefully inspire further discussion.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Sheri LindenConcerned mainly with the mechanics of the undertaking, the movie is less an incisive chronicle than a galvanizing tool for parents who are, understandably, frustrated with the system.
New York Times - 5/10 by Anita GatesMr. Takata deserves praise for refusing to oversimplify the situation, although his film doesn’t always bring the conflict fully to life.
