NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

medeeapopa It was one of the greatest documentaries I have ever seen. It really inspired me and it gave me strength to cope with reality. It is amazing to see how just one human being can change thousands of lives.

tavm I'll have to admit right off the bat that I watched this doc on teen Malala Yousafzai fighting sleep half the time though I managed to keep eyes open most of that period when it showed many of the school buildings that had been blown up after she attended them, courtesy of the Taliban. I did like the scenes of her family as they were now functioning normally in England. It was nice to see her doing well under the public glare after she survived being shot in the head, writing her book, and meeting public figures like Queen Elizabeth and President Obama. I, myself, remember her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this year as being quite amusing. Nice use of animation when telling tales of her earlier life or of the woman she was named after. So on that note, He Named Me Malala is worth seeing.

dj-shabbir-k this is the Excellent documentary i ever seen in Pakistan every body talk about Malala is fake but this documentary show us how she survive i am also from Pakistan i respect women The name Malala is a variant of Malalai, which means "sad, grieved" in Pashto. This was the name of a Pashtun woman who encouraged the Afghan forces during the 1880 Battle of Maiwand against the British. Another bearer of this name is Malalai Joya (born 1978), an activist, writer, and a former politician from Afghanistan this is the latest documentary from director David Guggenheim, best known for previous efforts such as Waiting for Superman, and It Might Get Loud. Here he tackles a difficult task, namely how to make an enticing documentary about a remarkable person, without coming across as simply wanting to 'glorify' that person. The answer, as it turns out, is quite simple: show us that person (in this case Malala) in their natural environment, and let us observe the REAL person. And then Guggenheim has another ace up his sleeve: he lets us catch glimpses (and more) of how the Taliban slowly but surely changes the Swat Valley in Pakistan, where Malala and her family lived. I must say, I was quite shocked at what I saw: the Taliban's brutality and determination knows no boundaries. As Malala (or was it her dad) observes at one point: "For the Taliban, it is not about faith, it is about power". Speaking of Malala's dad, it turns out he is quite remarkable well. I wondered why the movie wasn't simply called "I Am Malala" (her autobiography, from which the movie of course borrows), but now that I've seen it, it makes perfect sense, as this is a documentary not just about Malala but also very much about her dad. There is various remarkable archive footage in the documentary about the Taliban, her dad, and of course Malala herself. I must admit that I was worried how the makers of this documentary were going to fill an hour and a half in a way that would keep my attention. I shouldn't have worried. This is a moving documentary that, frankly, left me even more in awe of Malala than I already was. And to think this young lady is still only 18 years old as we speak! I am humbled and also a little inspired after seeing this.

eleventh-warrior I think Davis Guggenheim has no work now a days...how much money did he get for making this documentary totally on false information....In swat where malala used to live,there is no ban on girls to get educated Before malala and after malala SURPRISINGLY not a single incident of Taliban shooting girls ever taken place....i don't know why malala was attacked ...she is another ordinary girl just like all other girls and we didn't hear malala's name before...his father Ziauddin Yousafzai speaks now on TV as philosopher but as we take a look on his past ....he is not well educated or illiterate person .malala was shot on the head and here wounds often changes from time to time from left to right and right to left...she survived and along with malala there was another girl ..i cant remember her name now.. she died on the spot but BBC and CNN didn't bother to repeat her name...i think if malala is a hero then the girl who died with her her is a super hero ...we should remember her more than malala...i don't know who want to prove that the malala is warrior...and what is the benefit behind this...who is behind the malala....what they want from malala....and the people are so sentimental ...people are just like little children they absorb it as shown on media...but reality is totally different....
