Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

ahaydenmill I found this movie to be a wonderful display of the human spirit. The joy and life that Ami projects to the people around him is uplifting to say the least. His humor about life was one of the most interesting things to me. "Oh s*** man! I can't walk!"One of the reviewers claimed to have watched the film and wondered why he was so angry at this doctor, even though during the film he says that he is not - he is just on a journey to make a point about the human potential - and this film does a wonderful job of driving that home.Personally, it has pushed me to expand my limits and not let other people set my own. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone.

SpikeT I an in a wheelchair and after meeting Ami, I felt like I was walking. I'm a mentor for teens, and I tell them about Ami. He doesn't know the meaning of "can't be done". I never saw so much dedication, and unconditional love for everyone. The crew and Ami are very special people that are carrying a message to everyone. Don't give up, just keep trying. The more people that see this documentary, the more people will feel so much better about them selves. This documentary can make so many good changes in people. Ami lives day to day, not knowing if it's his last. For a man weighing 39 pounds, he's the biggest man I ever met. My life has changed for the better because of this film.

claireleibowitz I urge you to see a remarkable film, "39 pounds of love," by Israeli Director Dani Menkin. This documentary features the life of Ami Ankilewitz, who lives life to the fullest, despite a debilitating medical condition. Ami's life is explored in all its aspects: the medical condition that limits him physically, his creativity which soars in his animation, family feuds & dysfunction, the keen devotion of his friend, Asaf, and the discomfort society exhibits towards his physical disability. Director Menkin intersperses scenes from Ami's animation with his real life, which juxtapose his longing for love with his bodily limitations. The film forces us to confront our own views on the essence of the soul -- Ami's powerful persona comes through vividly, achingly at times, as we witness his quest for love and truth while on a road trip with the film crew.As a director, Dani Menkin proves himself to be a sensitive and integral part of the film. He never intrudes, yet manages to participate in Ami's life both as director and friend. He documents Ami's dignity and personal philosophy in a visually beautiful and deeply moving way. You will laugh and cry and reflect on the beautiful messages and images long after seeing the film. For more information on the film and viewing locations, go to www.39poundsoflove.com. This film is winning prestigious awards and opening in major cities.
