Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
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.
