He Named Me Malala

It's a shame that Guggenheim's slickly produced documentary examines such an important and fascinating story with such underwhelming results.

The result is a film more educational than engrossing; high schoolers should see it - the rest of us, maybe not.

While Malala's saintly status is front and center, there are lingering, disquieting and incomplete issues all over the place.

The chief draw here, of course, is Malala herself: an irrepressible, earnest voice for the oppressed.

Truly a remarkable person.

The film is worthy, obviously, and it forces us to think about the prices paid by our unexpected heroes.

A beautiful, thought-provoking piece of film-making which demands to be seen.

A few too many shots of his subject receiving awards and meeting famous people, however Malala Yousafzai is an extraordinary woman and, no matter how her story is presented, it's most definitely worth hearing.

Despite's its perceived shortcoming, He Named Me Malala is still a powerful documentary that offers us a glimpse - but not a look - into the life of one extraordinary young lady.

Davis Guggenheim's solid and moving documentary He Named Me Malala gives us the background of a story that shocked the world, but could have been more rigorously made.

It has the feel of a handsome classroom study aid, but nonetheless one every child (from nine to 90) could learn from.

A gentle and very respectful documentary about Malala Yousafzai... Through her story, director Davis Guggenheim highlights issues of free speech, universal education and how an inspirational teenager can change her world.
