Critic Reviews
-
Loren King, Boston Globe
A good, if not great, introduction.
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
Too much time is spent with survivors or Winton speaking to schoolchildren, or revisiting the place where this or that happened. Why not just talk to Winton himself?
-
Barbara VanDenburgh, Arizona Republic
The story is good enough to tell itself, and the filmmakers should have let it.
-
James Verniere, Boston Herald
A true story about an ordinary person, who turned out to be an extraordinary human being when it counted the most.
