LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

pensacolacomputer This is not really a review of the documentary but more of a thank you to Lizzie.Its impossible not to shed a tear during this documentary. I think everyone has been bullied at one time or another in their lives. At times I had an extremely tough time in school. I was called many hateful names and each and every time it hurt. I'm a lover not a fighter type. But people just do not realize the impact they have when they pick on other people. Its so sad that people have killed themselves because of this. Some are very young kids with their whole lives ahead of them. So please everyone out there who is having a tough time or being bullied, just remember, it gets better, I promise. Please don't give up, don't give in. Get some help from someone or call one of the hotlines that are available. You are a special person and are here for a reason.Knowing Lizzie Velasquez, she will probably read each and every review here, so from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you. Thank you for your kindness, courage, inspiration, and motivation to help others. Keep doing what you're doing, you have probably saved many lives. If the majority of the world were a little more like you, it would be a better place to live.

sriverany First I would like to start by saying that I found this film compelling and inspirational on many levels.Lizzie is a warrior on a personal mission to make a positive change in the world.Not an easy position to take on for anyone, but then we learn about her undiagnosed disease and how she was labeled the "Ugliest Girl in the world" By a YouTube.The comments on the video are the same we see on the poster, but thousands more. and yet through all the hardships, a Brave heart shines bright in this tiny body as she makes it her personal mission to make the world a better place.I learned from this film, cried and laughed a few times throughout and I think this has the potential to change peoples hearts.But only if they take their personal judgments and put them aside to listen to what she has to say.See it, share it, and maybe we can join her to make the world a little less mean.

mwahtera incredible, inspiring movie. not a dry eye in the theater, moving and hopeful. can't say enough great things about this film and its filmmakers. Lizzie is an inspiration - she is a role model for all. this movie is worth seeing - its entertaining and well done. there wasn't a dry eye in the theater and everyone stayed to discuss & provide meaningful dialogue. i am amazed by this film and everyone needs to see it. in a landscape where there are so few movies that inspire - this is one that hits a chord with many. it makes us rise up and become better versions of ourselves. it was a few hours well spent. truly amazing. more than impressed with the director and her ability to capture the true spirit of Lizzie and those around her. see this film now.

JustCuriosity A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story was extremely well-received in its hometown premiere at the Paramount Theatre at Austin's SXSW Film Festival. One can not help but be inspired by the struggle of someone like Lizzie Velasquez to overcome her disabilities and stand up for other kids who have been bullied. It is a remarkable journey and the film works fairly well as memoir of Lizzie's journey and a tribute to the love and devotion of her parents. Her personal story of overcoming adversity and her ability to turn her disability around and use it to help others as an activist is uplifting. It is also shameful that Republicans in the U.S. Congress have been blocking the passage of anti-bullying legislation in the name of small government and local control of schools. While Lizzie's story is deeply inspiring the film is a little slow and repetitive. It falls into an emerging genre of anti-bullying films such as Bully. It may be in part, because it is designed to tell the story to young people rather than adults. There are a lot of simplistic clichés that don't really get at the causes of bullying or explore why young people become bullies or how adults can interdict and prevent bullying. This would have strengthened the film considerably. In short, Lizzie's personal story is stronger than the film meant to tell her story.
